Tire/Rims for a Scrambler, should I go Bigger?

I Want to pick up some Douglas Rims..
So I was wondering should I go up a size or two?
Any advantage/disadvantage?

Right now Stocks are on.. So how big should I go?

Thanks

I got some douglas .190's from Rocky Mountain. Stock size is best for the wheels, I did go 22X12.5X10 tires for the rear, I am going out Sat and Sun, will let you know how the wider rears work out.

I'd stay stock just for the sake of the 4wd system (if you do change you have to keep the ratio the same front to rear)....you can go wider without much problem (in fact, I had to with the Mudlites) but only an inch or so.

I got my tires and wheels from Rocky Mountain.....you gotta call them cause they don't show everything on the website. I called 'em and told 'em what I wanted (.190 Douglas aluminum rims with ITP MudLites) and they shipped them out about $400 shipped! They'll ask what kind of machine you have and if they have sizes that will fit.
