I would think you'd gain some ground clearance since the wheel is an inch larger. Factory tire size was 225/70/16. Depending on what kind of lift you have or want, you'll be able to go larger.

According to tirerack.com
Cherokee SE 215/75/15
Cherokee Classic and Sport 225/75/15
At this point, I dont know that the exact difference between those and the 16's.
To the OP though, why do you want to run 16s, for ground clearance? I would just go up in tire size on 15's.
