I'm looking at getting a set of 16" Moab wheels for my ZJ and have been looking at 265/70/16 for a tire size. I'm wondering what tires people are running or what tires you guys would suggest for that size.
Thanks.

Lifted, year, backspacing of wheels, and what kind of driving do you do the most?

Its a 94 Limited it is lifted 2 3/4", backspacing of the wheels is 5". The kind of driving I do the most right now is on road with a little off road but that may change in the future

I would probably go with 15 inch wheels, alot more tires available. I would also go with 4 1/4 backspacing. You could probably squeeze 31 10.50 if you dont do much offroading,. They will rub though if you flex.
I ran 31 10.50 bfg AT on a 94 zj with no lift. I rubbed while flexing. Switched to same size, but Mud terrraines. Rubbed HORRABLY. Ended up lifting 4 inches and still rubs under alot of flex.
Also have 15 with 4.25 BS.

Ended up picking up the Moabs, couldnt pass them up for the price and condition. I have 15's that the ZJ came with on the Jeep now so keeping them and putting tires on them is still an option and I have no problems doing that if it give me more options. I personally like the look of the Moabs on the ZJ's so that is why I got them and am wanting opinions. I appreciate your insight and help!
