| other thing is the 15" wheel are only 5" wide. while most of the 16" and 17" are 7" wide. The type of tyre that can fit on the bigger rims are softer and sticker than those that can fit on the 15" stocker. Which gives you better take off and handeling. Not saying you cant get a wide 15" which solves even that problem. Currently i run the Centerline Impulse rim 17" which weighs in at 11.5 lbs. But with tire it wieghs in at 31.5 lbs. The Stock 7 hole with tire wieghs only 24lbs. Which is lighter cause your only running half the tyer. than on the 17's. I do run the 15" for the winter being thinner it helps in the snow. 02 MCS DS/W (Totaled November 02 on Fall Folage Run)
