American Outlaw Patrol 16" rims. I think they're 7" wide; I don't remember. Tires are Cooper Discoverer AT3, P265-70R-16. Same overall diameter as the stock P265-75R-15, but a much more common size and much better selection to choose from.
I am an odd one.... running crager steel wheel 16x8 (so I can run same tire size on all my vechicles but my daily). 265/75/R16 Treadwright Warden All-Terrain tires (retreads before they started making there own sidewall tires) so basically 32 inch with a 2.5 inch lift.
If you want BF Goodrich style mud or all terrain tread tires slightly cheaper check them out.
I'd go with the 17's if I was you. - I am not above buying used tires for my non-daily driver. Clearly since I am running retread tires which maybe sketchier than just some used tires. Only reason I went 16's was so I could run same size tire on all my vehicles to interchange if need be.
I see used tires or take off tires and wheels in 17 inch dirt cheap here on craigslist. I know you can get the stock BF Goodrich Wranglers that come on the jeep JKs (4 door wrangler) installed for as cheap as $50-$60 a piece.... maybe not all terrians but if your just driving around town they are great and for some light off road just fine.
