Looking at some new wheels and tires for my Pro-4x. Level 8 MK6'S with Good Year Duratraks.
Either 16" with 285/75/16 or 17" with 285/70/17.
Any suggestions or input?
I'm currently running the Readylift 2.5 lift and plan on possibly doing a 2" body lift in the spring.

Thanks,
Robb

Unless you have plans to get a Big Brake kit or retrofit a bigger brake caliper you don't Need to go with the larger rim.
There's more options for tires in the 16" than 17" rim. However if the tire you want (say a BFG AT-KO2) is in a 17" its immaterial if you really like the look of one over the other. Also 16" tires are cheaper than 17" if that is a factor. And for off-road use you want as tall a sidewall as possible. provides more cushion.
