Do you guys like having the 15s or would rather have 16s? How far do they stick out?

With 3.75 bs with 33x12.5 duratrac they stick out an inch or two. I liked being able to get the lighter c rated offered in 15 tire. I know the side wall is not as strong but I dont rovk crawl here in bama. Ride on roads is much better and lighter tire and rim than stock rubi tires means more response and less downshift. Tires were 40 less a piece than d rated 16s.

Are there any other 15x10 wheels out there that work. I just got my lift and I am so on the fence of what wheels/tires to get. I have been on the internet researching and am clueless and want to pick something I will really like cause I have been wanting these for a long time.

I run procomp 1069's. They fit fine with no spacers and no rubbing. They say any 15" wheel with less than 4 inches of backspacing will work. 15's look great on a jeep and the tires cost much less. Also weight is less which is something we need on the sluggish 3.8 motors.

Is it ok to run a 12.5 tire on a 15x8 rim?
