Default 16,17,or18in wheels with 33s?

Here's the "Sichiation". I currently have 18X9 XD addicts. They have been a good wheel so far, they are not the ones I would have picked, but they came with the jeep (as well as 315/60r18 TGs). I like the wide tires for off road, but I don't take my jeep offroad enough to need them. My plan is to switch to a 285, in doing so I would like to change the wheels as well, not only cheaper tires, but more off-road savy. The addicts are a pain to clean, and my jeep is going to be either dirty or ready for a parade.

So my question is... Should I go with 16s,17s, or stay with my 18s, wrapped in a cooper 285/(65,70,75)r(16,17,18)? Is the juice worth the squeeze?

Any help, or advice would be much appreciated.

16's give you more sidewall.


I think 17s are perfect IMO. Fill up the wheel well nicely. Cheaper tires than 18s
