Don't see why you should... essentially the same axles.

I like the 15" rims because they allow the tyre to be more flexible (since there is more sidewall) and they tend to be a bit more compliant when running over obstacles.

I also find that you don't need to air-down as much with the taller sidewalls as the tyre spreads more than a 16"

Plus, as has been mentioned, there is a good selection of sizes.

It's not just the amount of choice, the prices for 15" tyres are much better too.
Can't understand people spending a grand to put 18" alloys on an off-roader.

yes but people spending a grand on alloys for there rangie arnt planning any off road work. its a case of you pay your money and drive what you like regardless of whether it goes offroad or not. i must admit if i had a p38 it would be alot of money tied up for me and i couldnt justify going off road in it, although it is capable. i know to alot of people a p38 is old hat now but to me it would still be an expensive car.
