Tires and Rims...what to go with...need opinions
Alright got another poll for you guys

Heres the deal 5.5" springs with long arms all around...should I stick with my 16's and get 265/75/16 or go ahead and go right for the 285/75/16. Or should I go ahead and get some 15's...(probably some rock crawlers or bead locks) and get 33/10.5/15 or squeeze on 33/12.5/15. Anybody have the 15" setup? And will a 12.5" tire even fit?
