ever think about sidewall strength when your considering auto-x and jumping sizes from 15 to 16s with obvious sidewall differences? Thats going to have a big role in your overall handling but thats just my 2 cents and Ill let you think on what you want to do...
Finally, something to mill on. I suppose a stiffer sidewall would be advantageous in that realm, since there'll be lots of hard side to side movements on the autox course. I'm certainly considering the 16's now for just that reason. 215/45/16 has very few options and a much higher price. 205/45/16 however, has a good selection and is marginally only a few more dollars/ tire than the 15's.
