Default Need Help WIth Wheel/Tire Package Selection

Ran across a couple of wheel/tire packages and would like your input on both:

Package #1:
(5) used (but nearly new) Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ 305/65/17 mounted on stock Moabs with 1.5" wheel spacers for $975 mounted

Package #2
(5) new Wild Country Radial MTX 285/75/16 mounted on stock 16" steelies for $950 mounted.

I like the agressive tread of the Wild Country's but I would want to get wheel spacers if I went with them. I've adjusted the price on both packages to reflect $175 credit for my stock tires.

Thanks for your suggestions

Can't say I've ever seen, let alone run Wild Country...for that reason alone, I'd go with the Mickey's.

Mickey's then Bedline the wheels and you'll be looking and riding sweet.

Plus they'll last longer than the Wild Countrys.
