Could always just shave a little off the top the calipers there is so much meat there it should not matter much. Seen a few people do it

^^ You could do that but what's the point, it's not as if 16" rims/tyres are hard to find these days.

True they are readily avaliable but the price difference between a 15 and 16" tire is exsessive

you can shave the front but not the back. The rears are where the biggest difference is .You are stuck with 16s
