If you ever want to upgrade to 37''s (thats might happen, even if youre not planning to right now 
) You would be better with 17''. There is much more models to choose from in 17'' than 16''
I went with 16'' because of ''more rubber the better'', and now i cant hardly find any 37'' that fits 16'' wheels

So long story short, I had to buy new 17" wheels to get the 37's I wanted and now my 16" rims are for sale. If you will never run bigger than 315, then go for the 16" or go even bigger.

I thought this as well but my 37" x 17 Toyos where a lot cheaper than a comparative 37" x 16 tire by as much as $100.
