15" is good, but if you do a big brake upgrade, like Spoon Sports,I think you'll need 16" or bigger.

lets give some reasons for him...

I like 16's cuz i'm not into that dumped look, but I also don't want a gap in the wheel well. With 16's I can fill up the gap and not be as low if I had 15's and filled up the gap. Also for the big brake upgrade, 15's are too small. Just my opinion. Why do you other guys say 15's?

You're an ***-dragger huh? Not a drifter. Anyway, 15's will probably be best. You won't need anything bigger unless you have bigger brakes and clearance issues. Get 16's if you want though.

What's the reason for needing 16"s for a big brake upgrade? So, if a stock IT-R did a Spoon Sports brake upgrade, it would have to upgrade to 16"s?
