Interesting point here for future reference is that for the same overall diameter alumimium wheel weighs more that tyre side wall.

(plucking figures from the air) A 245/55x15 tyre/wheel combo will be lighter than a 245/35x19 combo

At the front of a bug this will matter a lot as the sprung to unsprung weight ratio is relatively low.
