Default Picked the wheel and tire...now it's size

Do I go with a 16in wheel or 17......
It's a daily driver and gonna be used on the beach! I'm gonna get the Soft 8's and
GY Duratrac's. Any help with size would be great!

I have the Treaflex leveling kit and wanna run 33's

15s and 16s are great, much cheaper tires. If you want to go with bigger brakes in the future though you'll need a 17 (depending on the kit).

Just got back from Discount Tire and had 285/70R/17 Duratrac's installed using my stock Moab wheels. They look great and very quiet!
