Any reason to stay away from 16s?
im looking to get crager soft 8's 16" wheels with firestone destination m/t's. anyone have any reasons to not go with 16s? also how does backspacing with 16s differ?

more expensive tires, and less rubber for example a 15" rim 31" tire vs a 16" rim 31" tire you are going to have 1" less rubber sidewall (1/2" per side) which means a little less meat to cushion the bumps. Probably is not going to make a world of difference but still something to think about

tires are not named 31x10.5 15 they are 265x75 16 so it is a little harder to get what size you want on height, and they are much more expensive tires. the only reason to run 16's on a tire smaller then 40 inches is if you have brakes that require it.
