Default looking for 16" wheels? why is this so hard?
I'm currently running MB72's on a 315/75/16 and looking to get something in brushed aluminum/simulated beadlock. the selection of 16" is really limited. can only find 17" and more. any suggestions please?

thanks
steve

I'd be looking at Quadratec to see what they may have, they seem to do factory style wheels but wider. Early Rubicon models had 16's did you may be able to go that route, change to 5x5 to 5x5.45 wheel spacers.

Any issues with clearing the brake calipers with 16s?

Not stock brakes but you won't clear most steering upgrades or any big brake kits I believe. That's why I went back to 17s.
