Wheel size decision. Need opinions.
I'm getting ready to lift my XJ about 3-4in. I will probably start with 31s but want to run 33s in the future. I love the 15 in rims with 3.5 bs and the extra side wall but it seems like everday, the 15in selection gets less and less.
My question is, should I get 15s or should I move up to 16s to keep up with the growing metric sizes?

Yeah, i have looked at costs and that, along with less backspace, is why its hard me to just go up in rim size.

15s are fine.. unless your wanting to run some special wheels.
16s are pretty standard now-a-days.
My 17s are just the JK rubicon Moabs..

i love my 15x10s. It was harder to find an alum rim that i liked, but steelies are eveywhere.
Mine are 33x12.5s. the rims are 3.74 b.s. Look in my gallery if yaunto.
I will never move up in rim size. as long as they keep making tires in inches,there will always be a need for 15s. allbeit eventually an even less selection of 15s. but they will be made.
