I would not get 16s. Tire size selection is not as good and load range D or E.

Go with 15s or 17s. I just got 35x12.5r15 for $209 each at big brand. 35x12.5r17 are around $100 more.

D and E are the load range. How much weight each tire will carry. Also I think it makes the side wall thicker. ???

Don't think they changed the calipers or rotor size.
