LOL just FYI to all if you do 15 with a bigger tire and 16 with a smaller tire and set them next to each other they will be almost exactly the SAME SIZE so if your gonna do 15s wit a small tire then yea you can slam it more if not then it doesnt really matter i like 16s wit a 205/45 tire its a lil more rim and looks clean slamed just my 2 cent

Not only to the look better, but your options are very limited in tires when you have 15's. I always ran 195/50/15 on my cars with 15" wheels because i didn't want them to rub my fenders. With 205/50/15's on they hit all the time

With 16's you can run a 205mm wide tire and still have a low sidewall for clearance
