I run 15" rims with 35's and dont usually drop pressures any lower than 20 psi and it works good. Tyres with a larger sidewall will make a larger footprint at lower pressures. Any pressure drop on any size wheel/tyre combo is gonna net gains. But this is about rim size :P. 15 and 16" tyres are probably the easiest size to get a hold of in most situations and are still cheaper than the larger wheel size its also easier to find a load rated tyre in the smaller size as they have been around longer.

So the 17" OEM rims were for highway work ?? 80/20 rule..
There is a lot of selection at 16" but I'll be doing mostly road driving this next year or so.

Yeah thats just sorta what i have always run tyres still bag real well and less likely to come off the bead traction is good this all most of me and mates run in our tyres. I do remember one time a mate of mine had creepy crawlers and had to put 10psi in to get them to work well.
