Ive noticed that most of you guys use 15" wheels. The Rubicon and the Tomb Radier addition Jeep are using 16" wheels. What are the pros and cons to each of these choices. If the 15s are better I wonder why they put 16s on the Rubicon? Ill be in the market soon for both wheels and tires and was just wondering.

there are more tire choices for a 15" wheel.... but larger wheels ride better b/c of a small sidewall[addsig]

Lets not forget price. Pound for pound a 15" tire is usually much cheaper than a 16". Also much more readily available.- my .02.- Chris[addsig]

the larger sidewall flexes and allows more movement, thus making it more unstable.... that is it reason the new 49" swampers only come in a 20" wheel b/c that tall of a tire would really get wobbly on a 15" rim[addsig]
