The 16" option is a little more spendy. I have gotten good feedback on the 215X60 R15 combination and it is my current favorite. I would hate to miss an opportunity to get the best handling though so I throw this out to you. >> If you don't have a syncro, go with the 15". I've run ( y'all know this by now..) 15" Audi 5000 turbo wheels on a Van and they do fine as far as clearance and handling. I was running 205 60's on them, but that was only because the tires on the wheels off the Audi were already good. 215's are a better choice. chris
