Changing to 16's only give more clearance if you go bigger tires.
Other wise they will be the same diameter

If all you want it more clearance then just go bigger tires on the 15' wheels as it can be harder to get small mud tires in 16"

I went to 16's as i went to landrover size tires and worked out cheaper than equivelant in 15'

Or you could get some adapter/spacers and use landrover wheels :)

The only reason to change to 16" wheels is if its easier/cheaper to get the diameter of tires you want otherwise its pointless.
