Tires and wheels

[firefighterwannabe]

Im in the market for getting new tires and wheels. I've already decided on what rims am going to get (American Racing, Diamond Lock or the Diamond Back). But I can't decided on what ties to get, am looking for something around 265/70/r16 maybe even a bit bigger with 275/70/r16. Whats the pros/cons between the 15 inch rim and the 16 inch rim. I can't decided between Nitto Terra Grapler, BFG A/T, or the Goodyear Wrangler A/T. Sorry to ask so many questions but this is a big desion for me and I just need some other opions.
Thanks

The main difference between 15" and 16" is the tire is not as thick, on road no big deal, off road the extra 1/2" gives you a bit more room for the tire to compress when going over obstacles. Year ago I also would have said tire selection but that has changed now that jeep is putting pretty much all 16" wheels on as are most of the others.

Just put mine back on today. I absolutely love the Diamond backs. Not a huge fan of the Diamond locks....

You can check my pics out to get an idea of how they'd look on an XJ, altough I'm sure your not getting chrome, you'll getthe idea.

What size would 275/70/r16 be in a 15" tire?

I have a set (5) of 30's for sale. Geolander A/T's siped. Not over 9000 miles on the bunch.

Same here...have 4 Yoko Geolanders measures 30 9.50 on 15 AR Atlas Wheels if someone wants them. Good tires and wheels are mint. Just got a bigger lift so need to upsize my tires and wheels
