It depends on your size and how your seat is oriented (i.e. tilt back). That extra 1/2" on all sides may not sound like a lot, but if you're already tight then you run the chance of more clearance issues. When I had my Superformance I contemplated the same thing. Ended up sticking with a 15" but bought the true independent three-spoke with the proper center ring just to be certain (ordered directly through Moto-Lita, via Hillbank, to ensure the SPF hole spacing was exact).

16" would have been tight. Do-able, but I have large hands and am tall so it would have been tight.
