I went with 16s to keep the factory wheel size. I did however get the backspacing perfect by doing some measuring to put the wheels right at the edge of the fenders.

I love mine. No rust so far..... no bends (but I don't crawl I just offroad), no chips or scratchs really but touch up paint is perfect for them! As the other guys said, they are cheap cause they are just stamped steelies! They rock!

So why did you guys go with 15s over 16s? Just the tire size for better performance?

I went with 15s because the tires are cheaper, just a tad but still. Also people say that you can get more flex out of the tire because of the addition sidewall. Maybe its true, maybe not. I still chose them because of the cheaper tire price.
