Default Thoughts on moving to a 16" rim???

I am seriously considering moving to a 16" rim and curious if anyone has done this and what their thoughts are? Did you notice any ride difference? Was there any difference offroad?

Main reason is I want a specific tire size and in a 15" the size I want is not possible for what ever reason.

depends on the tire you wanna run. anything less than a 33 youll be hard pressed to find a load range C tire. i think the 16s look great with 33s and 35s mounted on them, but tires are much more money for a 16 than a 15.

a teenie less sidewall flex and a teenie more bling and a teenie more sensitivity while driving. oh and easier to balance (not that it matters much)
