Chris ... Thanks for the link ..

I think I will go with the 32s since I will use it off road too

Across the board, 32x10.50's will work on stock trucks, both on and off road.  33's will "work" as long as you don't drive it offroad, EVER.

Any suggestions about width of the wheels ... and do U suggest I go for steel or Alum.

Thanks again

I would go with 15x8's on a 10.50 tire.  As for rim material.  Aluminum is lighter (depeding on what you get) but steel will take more abuse.
