I am planning to run 14.9 x 38 tires and need to know what rim would work best with this tire? A 14 or 16 inch rim.

I have heard of using a 15.5 on a 16 inch rim, I know a 14.9 is a tad narrower but has more of a side wall.

will a wider rim drop the height of the tire much?

club does not have a tire to rim width rule.

New Puller, I would not recommend going over 14" with the 14.9"s. A super wide rim for a tire makes the sidewall not sit straight on the rim, causing weakness in the center of the tread. A tire set up like this will hook well for awhile but when it lets loose it will do so all of a sudden. A properly matched rim and tire will hold on much longer and when it starts to slip near the end of your pull it will continue to try to hold. Hope this helps. Mike
