My Michelin LTX's are running low on tread and 14" tire options are
limited at best. I'm thinking about moving up to 16" wheels/tires this
summer because, given discussions here, there appear to be more tire
options available. This stuff is ridiculously complex. I've been
trying to do my homework. I don't want to be drilling out wheels,
messing around with spacers, having my sliding door rubbing, having my
tires rub when I turn corners, or any of that other nonsense. I don't
care for the look of the Merc wheels. I loved the look of the American
Racing AR95T ones that Dennis Haynes recommended back in 2014, but
they've been discontinued.

Add into this mix that I'm planning on installing the GoWesty Big
Brake kit on the front of my van and things probably get a little more
complicated, right? Or do I really even need the big brake kit? People
seem to think that it helps when you put bigger wheels and tires on
and that the wheels you get depend on whether you have this kit
installed or not. True?

So, what attractive wheel options are available that will work without
modification? What actual tires are available that are decent and that
will keep my speedometer accurate?
