I ran 15" on my first buggy, but the offset was completely wrong so had to use 25mm spacers. One thing you have to be careful of is that the tyres don't catch on full lock. Also if you have a front bumper that when you jack the car up it doesn't foul that. You may also run into issues of gearing big wheels will higher your gearing which means your acceleration will be affected.
