I found a great deal here with wheels and tires: http://www.4wheelparts.com/product2.asp?imseqn=1890&occlass=TWD&cat=PAC What size do I buy? I think it is 16x8 with the 5 lug nut pattern. The first one on the list on that page. I can't seem to find the answer anywhere. And they have free shipping until tomorrow night! Thanks for any information.

They have the correct bolt patterns.

I am going to buy cheaper non-LR wheels.

Stock offset on the 8" wheel is 6.5" of backspacing. That offset will make it nearly impossible to find a wheel that will fit properly. Remeber, the less the backspacing, the more the tire and wheel will protrude beyond the fender, and possible contact during articulation.
