Wondering what peolple think is the best tyre-rim combonation for a lifted lib. 16 inch rims or 15 inch rims. The car will be spending most of its time on the bitumen obviously with predominately sand driving in mind. Are 15 inch tyre easier to come buy, cheaper with greater size (height) variability than 16 inch rims.

thanks

15's give you more choices in tyres, but there is options in both.

16's you really only have 215/60 soft roader tyres, or 215/65 and 215/70 options in good all terrain patterns.

in 15's you can get pretty much whatever you want.

I recommend you hit the tyre stores / web sites and decide which tyre you want to run. then pick a rim that is suitable.

also if you can find a rim with wider offset than standard lib, it will help with clearance. forester / outback rims are +48mm offset which is 7mm wider than stock liberty
