What size wheel to go with and rack Q?

What is the best wheel size to go with when running 33x12.50?? I've got to buy new ones so any style suggestions would be appreciated as well. Any cool pics of your rig with 33's and their wheels (with dimensions) would be great. Also, i plan on mounting a surco rrof rack with two lights but think that it would look awkward to put 2 lights up there because it is so far back from the windshield due to the sunroof. Any pics of this would help too. Thanks for any help.

15x8 is generally a good wheel size for those tires on a 2nd Gen. 15x8's will let you air down a good bit without losing a bead. I don't have 33's just yet, but I'll be doing a similar setup to Flygenstein's 2nd Gen. His rig is the Red 2nd Gen in the CO4RJ videos.

Can't help with the rack, although I think those that put lights up top typically use pencil beams for more of a long range light.

You might want to search roof rack lighting and see what comes up.

I have 15x8's with 4" of BS. They work well. I went with Eaton's because they were cheap, had the right backspacing and I would not feel bad chewing them up when wheeling.

Here is a decent pic of them...


Not real shiny, but they get the job done.
