Default Throw An Idea Rims And Tirs Or Just Tires

So I Have A Yellow 4 Door X With 16 Inch Alloys Want To Put Either Some Nitto Mud 33 11.5 16 On Or Put Some 17inch 7005 Pro Comps With 33 12.5 17 Cant Decide If It Would Look Good On The 16's And Not Have To Get The 17's Also Would It Be Way Better With The 3.21 With Just Keep The 16's Or Would It Not Make That Big Of A Deal?? Thanks For Any Responses

I like having the extra sidewall. I am running 16 inch wheels. You save money on the nitto mud grapplers if you get them.

x2 on the 15" wheels... tires are also cheaper for 15" wheels and you can get 33's or 35's with a C load rating...

My only disappointment with my Rubicon is the fact that they put silly gigantic 17" alloy wheels on it from the factory. I would trade them in a heartbeat for a set of 15" wheels and tires.

If I were you, I would just keep the 16's and save the wheel money for something else.
