For you guys with SW388's on your R's, what would you prefer....price not being a determining factor. 15 or 16 in. wheels? Also, how to do keep the guys at the tire mounting place from screwing up your 450$+ dollar wheel when it is time to get new rubber?

i think you need to trust the tire place you go to...unless of course you mount tires yourself

 

depends on what u plan on doin to your brakes, if your gona go w/ bigger brakes that require 16"+ get 16".....otherwize get 15"

looks like he's asking about Spoon Brakes

No you cannot. Only 16" SW388's will clear the Spoon Calipers.

 

You can only run the 15 inch spoon rims with spoon calipers if you run a spacer.

16 inch fit with no clearance problems.

 

if you're just contimplating what size rim regardless of calipers, 15's tires are cheaper. i believe all this stuff has been in the archived posts.

 

Another vote for 16" here. If you're getting Spoon calipers, you realy don't have a choice, but the 16's are better for the extra 1/2" of width, anyway, IMHO.
