It really depends on if you got a Rwd or 4Wd, then it depends on what look you're looking for.... typically an 8" wide rim with the correct offset will stay inside the fenders but you might be able to get away with a little more by changing the offset, but if you got a 4x4 with some lift, running 10" wide rims is pretty common when using 31" or 33" tires.
the cool thing is that this 6 bolt pattern is the same for Chevy full size trucks as well as Toyota and Mitsubishi and a few others so wheel availability is really good since a bunch of them will bolt right on.

The 720 rims have a 6 lug bolt pattern X 5.5 inch bolt circle (same as 139.7 cm bolt circle), so you need to find that same bolt pattern. If you install a mag wheel, make sure you can get enough lug threads inside the lug nut so the nuts don't fracture from stress.

Many wheels used on Chevys, Toyotas, Nissan, and others will have the right bolt pattern. Just make sure you have clearance when you install them on the front or you will get tire rub and will have wasted your money.

I got mine off a chevy 4x4 that the guy just wanted something with a different look for his truck so for $275 I got a set of 16x8 alloy wheels with 265-75 R 16 tires with about 80% tread... Craigslist can be your friend when looking for wheels and tires... and it's even easier to snatch up a good set if you got a 2wd truck.

Does that combination work without any arrangements ? Do you have any pictures to share ?
