Stay with 16" or go to 15"?
I will eventually be going to a bigger wheel/tire combo. I currently have the stock 16" wheels. Is there a benefit to staying with 16" wheels and tires? I know this for sure....it will be significantly more expensive to stay with the 16" setup, especially the tires. I could save a good amount of money by going to a 15" wheel tire combo instead. Any opinions on this? Thanks.

as far as finding tires, if you want 33" (305/70r16) or 35" tires (315/75r16) there are plenty of them available to go on 16" rims. but anything bigger than that you need 15" or 17" rims, but i dont think the 15" will fit on your truck so you will need to go with 17". but that all depends on how big you are actually going on your truck

Your stock rims will only fit up to 11.50s so if you want wider than that you will have to swap. If you want to run 11.50+ you will have to get a wheel that has less back spacing because with the stock backspacing the tire will rub the A-arm. The advantage to the smaller rims is more sidewall flex. Super swamper LTBs are about the same price for the 15" or 16" but the biggest size is 34x10.5.

yeah if anything get 17's. you have a lot more choices than 16's. i wish mine would have had 17's put on it but thats okay. i'm not going bigger than 35. i don't have stock but tire choice is a lot harder for 16's rather than 17's. Looks like your stuck with the 16's or you can go 17's. I shouldn't really say Stuck but you get the idea.
