Jon,  I'd go with the 16 in. Rims.  I like the tall skinny look, but from a
practical point of view, you'll also be able to go significantly faster with
the 4:11 rear end.  Even though my bias plies work fine, everyone says they
see improvements with radials, so I guess if I were buying new, that's what
I'd do too.
