Gen1 Which Wheel Size 15" or 16"????

I currently have 2 sets of 16" wheels for my 89 SC. I've been toying with going back to a 15" wheel. My 16" O.Z. wheels are a 37mm offset & on extreme hard, fast corners I sometimes hear the tire rubbing the plastic liner. With my Motegi MR7 with a +40 or +42mm offset doesn't have the same issue but I like the lighter weight of the O.Z. wheel.

Should I stay with a 16" wheel or go to a 15"? Let me see what you all think & any personal experiences that you have had yourself.

Well what series tires are you using on the 16"s ?
And if you went 15"s, what series tires would you use?

That's the poll question. It gives a choice of 2 tire sizes for each wheel size.
