Default Benefit to 265/75-16 over 265/65-18

Excuse me if this has been tapped on within the 4000 tire discussions. I already know the tire I want, but the question is would there be an advantage to a 265/75 or is the 265/65 just fine. I know the tires are about the same size and I already have 18" wheels so it just seems easier. To add to that, I'm having a hard time locating decent 16" wheels locally. What do you guys think?

For on road and off? And 16" is thee most common size tire for the most part, so I can't believe you haven't found them

18" will be slightly better on road, worse off road.

I have found plenty of tires, just no decent rover wheels locally. I'd almost prefer 16s because tires are cheaper but don't want to spend $400 on wheels to get me there.

It's a third vehicle at this point. I'm lifting it 2", will be used mostly for light off-roading and camping. Will forward a river to the camping spot etc just no rock crawling. Does get muddy in ga.

What would you do? Should I keep looking for 16s and then sell the 18s to offset the purchase price? Or for this use will it make a huge difference?

I'd keep the 16s for sure

Then the search for 16s continues. Thanks for the advice!
