The tires look great, glad you got them mounted without any issues (besides the $100 bill).
When I bought my Nitro Terra grappler 285/75R16  tires the tire shop wouldn't mount them on my stock rims.  They measured my stock M1028 rims and they said they were 16" x 6.5". They claimed the rims were too narrow.
I pulled some 16" x 7" rims off a 99 Ford E350 prison van that I bought at an auction as a running & driving storage container.
I gave them a quick shot of black paint and had the new tires mounted.
I'm glad you didn't have to deal with the hassle.

yeah, this shop usually takes care of their customers. its the place i had to take my car to after pep boys tried to fix the tires after the 2nd time i just took it to them once. but the bill said $25 per tire over 19". im thinking what toy car runs a 19" tire lol. but my next thing was should i spray the rims black or white with the hub caps

The truck looks great! I'd repaint them white for that classic look. But then again, I don't care for the look of black wheels. It's your truck and ultimately your decision, so do what you want and what you think looks best!

yeah i was thinking black rims would be too much black but then i would have the hub caps to brighten it up. but then it might make the tires look huge and the rims would only look as big as the hub caps. but its only spray paint so if i dont like it ill spray it again
