Can put 16" rims on if you want.
Either scout the wreckers for pajero 16's or go and buy some 16" steelies.

that gives you more choice as they flares allow wider rims, as Pauly said, check the wreckers ar buy some steelies or do a search on here has been discussed a heap which patrol/landcruiser/ hilux rims etc fit
so are plenty of options

15 inch

[dolphin]

yes . so 1 inch larger in diameter will still be fine. most of the time it all boils down to what tire proflie are you fitting to a particular rim size. in this case of the freebie 16 inch tires, as long as the profile is suitable compared to what your running on your car now ; 15 x what tire profile ? say a 15 x 75 profile will end up about the same total diameter as say a 16 x 70 profile.
there is a tire / rim calculator chart available which tells the correct story as to what i am on about. [ google - 1010 tires.com ]

16" will be metric tyre size. So an example of what dolphin is refereing to is 265/75r15 is around the same as 265/70r16.

Metric is width/ratio/rim and r is for radial belt ply. Ratio is the profile and is the percenrage the wall height is of the width.
I work out like so: width divided by 100=xxx, xxx times the ratio which now gives you wall height, wall height times by 2 to get the total wall height, divide by 25.4 to convert to inches, add the end result to the rim diameter and you have the total tyre diameter.
