8\" or 10\"

i'm about to buy some 33x13-16 super swampers and was wondering if i should use 16x8s or 16x10s. i've heard wide rims make the tire shorter. since they're only 33s i don't want 'em to look too short. either one is fine with me, what do you guys think?

Why 16" wheels? Tires are cheaper for 15" and it's very easily done on an 8 lug axle.

I'd go 10" wide no matter what you choose, but I personally like the 15s better than 16s, and a lot more than 16.5s.

I agree, go with 15x10's, cheaper tires and the 10's give you room to move up in tire size later if you want.
