My answer would be the 16.5X14. This way you'll be able to upgrade the brakes. Might find it difficult to stop with stock diameter rotors and such tall tires. |

Extremely good point. I like the look of both set ups.

Re: 15x12 vs 16.5x14 That is the question!
It's around a 6". I de'arched my 8" lift to get the highth i was looking for. The first set is 16.5x14 on 33/15.5 the bottom picture has 15x12 on 33/15.5. That's a good point on the brake upgrades... the problem is that these are for another build, you can see the build tread on this truck on my page. I don't know how to attach a link otherwise I would.
