Default wheel size advantages input

Are there any advantages to having 16"wheels rather than 15"? I was gifted a set of Michelin LTX M/S P245 75R16 tires. The cost for a set of 16" steelies about 62.00 Per wheel. or keeping the 15" wheels and put 31" tires on her. The cost advantage up front is apparent. Does anyone have 16" wheels on their Cherokee?

dont bother with bigger rims. tires are like 100 more a piece, and you add some serious rotating weight with the extra size. if your sus. isnt sagging, you can get at least a 235/75r15 in there easy.
