Anyone running 16" rims

Anyone running 16" rims on their 5th Gen? I'm going back and forth between doing 285/70r17 or 285/75r16. Most of my off-road time will be in the sand so I feel like airing down with 16s might be a little better than the 17s. Any thoughts?

I don't think 16" wheels are going to clear the front calipers...might fit around the rears though, but that's a moot point, lol.

Ooh, good call. Didn't think about that...

I bet you could do an FJ brake swap, but that's a lot of work for 16" rims.

What 16 did you try? How close was it? Had something I wanted to try.
