Hello, I am looking to lift my 2004 Wrangler Unlimited either 3 1/2" or 4" to allow for 33" tires.  My question is what size wheel should I run.  The wheels I was looking at are 16"  but then most 16" tires are D or E load range.  I just want to make sure there wont be any issues going to a heavy load range, like will it effect ride quality?  Thank you, any help would be greatly appreciated.

You won't necessarily decrease the ride quality. The heavier load range will mean that you will have a stiffer side wall so if you air them down, the sidewall wont flex as much as a C load range. Unless your pulling a heavy trailer/camper then you don't need the heavier load range. There are 16 in. C load range tires available but you just have to look for them. I personally would suggest getting 15in. wheels.
