Buying new wheels and tyres for my 90. I would like to go 33x12.5 but not sure whether to go 15" or 16". I'll be driving on the roads during the week and then off roading the weekends. What are the pros and cons or are there. Thanks

15" will give you a wide choice of tyre sizes due to being what the merkins use

smaller rims and bigger tyres ='s better ride, thats why cars with mahoosive alloys and a thin line of black paint (tyres) ride like crap

Not quite fact, different sizes for different uses.

As TD5 says stick with 15", I bought 16" predators with ATs which I now regret.

A good general rule of thumb though

 

[wickford90]

Smaller rims with bigger tyres means less positive handling, hence low profile tyre for sports cars.

Great. I'll go for 15's. Thanks folks

15s are for men wanting to use wider sizes, as above, more commonly associated with Murkins.

16s are for Europe it seems.

It should be clear now that 15" is the choice!
