Anyone running 16" rims? (16×10) Just seems to have more options in the market but didnt know the pros/cons.

I used to. More options for the 16" wheels but actually, I think its becoming a toss up on options for 15 and even 16" tires.

I have a brand new set of five american racing wheels in a 15x10 and jones for something different. However, they also have brand new 35" rubber on them so I would likely take a beating if I sold them.

I would jump to a 17" wheel if I did it again. Anything larger than that looks goofy to me...

16’s are dying in the USA. Go 17 if at all possible. The challenge often comes down to styling, finding a 17” wheel with the styling that fits a classic truck can be a challenge. And why one of mine is on 15’s……

As has been mentioned already, it's a challenge. If I could have purchased those particular wheels (AR23's) in 17" I would have done so and run 315/70R17's instead. It would have been my preference, but American doesn't make those wheels in 17"
Getting the right back-spacing in a 17" for the FSB that wasn't 19 inches wide* was also a challenge.

*slight exaggeration......
