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.
