Yep 15" tires are everywhere, I'm icking up 15" Krawlers for 100 each when they retail 320.

Good luck.
When i switched to 15's I got a set of brand new Pro Comp Xterrains for 500. Honestly, you can almost buy a set of wheels and tires, for the same price as some of the 16" tires.

Steel wheels wise, Justins are a pretty good buy!

more than 75 on a steel wheel i will go with alloy but i like the black look on them .

15s= Cheaper tires and more options.

Actually, this might only pertain to areas of the world with pickup trucks ;) but until you wanna go bigger than 33 you can find 16in tires real easily.

Very true! You can find 16"tires easily, but 15s are cheaper and you have more variety. I agree with the CL comment. I buy most of my tires from craigslist and I can find 15s all day long in multiple sizes, tread patterns, and are more affordable. It took me 2 months to get a deal on my 16"s.

Call Allied. You can specify your backspacing which is pretty nice if you're running a little larger tire. A friend of mine purchased a set of 15" Beadocks with 2" BS for $113 a pop. I was quoted at around $160 each for 16x8 beadlocks from them.

I agree, I don't know if I will ever throw a 38+ on this truck. You do see a lot of 16" wheel tires in ~35+ and I also see a shit ton of 16.5's

I just looked up some tires on Tire rack, 15s are way more available than 16s and if you can find the 16 in a similar size they are more expensive. I am planning on running 33x12.5x15 on steel wheels until I re-gear and throw 35s on and there where 19 tires available in 15" and 0 available in 16" or similar size even. I would buy 15s but that is just my opinion. Just think the tires look bigger on 15s!

This is a valid consideration, and completely outweighs the E load rating of 16" tires. It's okay if the sidewalls fold under the wheel in a turn every once in a while.

That is a good point! I was hauling 500 gallons of water the other day and it made me nervous the whole time. There is nothing worse than a folding tire.
