Default 16" wheels?

Is there anything wrong with running a 16" wheel? I'm just trying to figure out what would/could happen? I have 1998 Cherokee sport 4.5" lift that's about it. Pictures of your Jeep would be cool too thanks. Lots.of.great information.and.help from you guys!

Only downside i've found is tires are more expensive.

What he said, I have 18" 2010 Sahara X wheels with 31" tires on my 3.5" Lift. I run adapters and they are flush with the flares

x2 on the price of tires you would think they'd be cheaper. I'm thinking about going with 17 inch soft 8's.

I'm running 31x11.50/16 super swampers with a 4.5" lift and love it. Not that bad on price either. They run a little under 200.00 a piece. And I just like the look of a little bit bigger rim than the usual 15". Seems like 16.5 is a bit more common.
