16 x 8" rims and 37x12.5xr16 does the width of rim and tire make a huge performance difference or is it mostly looks? I'm trying really hard to find a tire and wheel combo I like.

for a 12.50 tire something between 8-10 is perfect.....i personally like 8" , im partial to runing the narrowest wheel possible.....

put it this way, i have 10" wheels on my 44x18.5's

I second the narrower rim width. It will be a little easier on your front bearings, too. If you want mud, get the SSR. Personally for the money, they are better than mud terrains, and if you don't care about ride quality get the 37x13 boggers.
