what ever size you have. just kiding, it all depends on your prefferance. i like a 17 inch wheel with tires up to 40. the rim size will determin the price you pay for tires alot of times. with a 15 wheel you will be cheaper in general than a 17 but limited on brakes fitment etc.... 17 has alot more sizes avalible and is very common. a 18 or 20 in wheel will look better with bigger tires (40 plus my opinion) but tires are usally way more in these size wheel.

I have the 17" AEV Pinter Beadlocks on mine and love them. I did have to go with 1 1/4" spacers on mine because the tires were hitting the rear control arm.

Man I really like the way it looks. did u have to get new gears ? I think I was looking at 513 but do I hve to get front and rear ? And I just got my lift it's a rancho 4" lift with 9000xl shocks. I wanted 35 but really am thinking about 37s now.

I had the 5.13 gears for 3 weeks and installed the 5.38 and have been very happy with the performance now. I can now be in overdrive on the freeway where with the 5.13's 60 mph max in overdrive.

You only need to re-gear the rear if you never want to engage 4wd. otherwise when you do engage it your front tires are going to be squealing/ squaking and be much faster than your rear.
