    I would suggest you have a look in the "Show us your classic" thread and see what tickles your pickle.

    l wont be doing exteme stuff,just general off roading.

    Years ago when l had rangies l ran 15" wheels due to the fact they were cheaper for tyres, but l know that more 4WD run 16's these days.

    So is it worth buying 15" or are 16" the go?

    Depends what size tyres you want to run, and what size the wheel you want comes in...

    Personally i run 16's because they are factory alloys on my D1 15's look small IMO

    For general off roading I find 31/10.5x15 MT a good all round size. You can keep a pretty standard offset and they tuck nicely with a 2" lift and camel cut.

    No need for the camel cut on a RRC.

    I run 245 75 16 Cooper STT on Dynamic 0 offset steelies. I used to run 31 10.5 15 but found they sapped too much 'power' from my largely unmodified 3.5. Well it has a Holley and LPG with a mild cam but still it goes better with the 245's. Even tho the two tyres are similar diameter I found that the rolling resistance (from the extra width I guess) was greater with the 15's.
