15" vs 16" wheels

Guys, are there any advantages to a 16" wheel over a 15" tire for off road use, specifically if your tires are no bigger than 35"? It would seem to me the 15" wheels would be more beneficial so you have more air in there, but what do I know?

One advantage I see in 15 inch wheels is tire price. The same tread width and diameter for a 16 inch is between $10 and $25 more depending on what tire you use. I don't think there is any real benefit or setback in terms of performance on or off road.
