Ive never heard of people having any sort of problems with 15/16 inch rims on dc2, someone correct me if Im wrong, but it shouldnt be a worry

changing the diameter of the wheel wont do that much (assuming you dont go something like 22 inches). as u increase wheel size, u decrease tyre profile and vice versa so u always have the same rotational diameter. try going down a profile.

EDIT: having the wrong offset can also be a factor

depends if your using stock shocks then it will scrub and stuff when u hit a pot hole etc...

umz.. got stock shocks on them with 2.5 pedders all around..
i had 17's on them n the back was fine but the front scraped like hell..
so was thinking of getting 15 or 16's.
with 15 or 16's i should be fine, correct?
any ideas??

Since when did Pedders go 2.5 low unless its custom.
15"s you would get away but it will sit lower
16"s u'll get the tyre tucked under the guards I think.

SO ill go with 15's

isnt your issue with the offset and width of the tyre; and not the rolling diameter?
