I'm looking to get some snowflake rims soon and am debating whether I'd be better going with 15" or 16" rims. What advantages are there, other than cost, to go with 15" rim?

Currently running 285/75/75 Kumho MT's and might consider going to 315/75/16 if I stay with 16's. Thanks.

main advantage is cost and tire choice. 15's will give you more sidewall which equates to more sidewall flex, but thats negliable.

I've seen that there are more choices in the offroad world at the 15 inch variety, whether it be tires or wheels.
