15 & Slam 60mm Or 16 & Slam 30mm

[GeeUK]

What do you think?
Should I get some new 15" alloys and slam it by 60mm or get some nice 16" and slam by 30mm?
Also, when you put 16" alloys on, do you have to change your tyres more regular ??
So some one keeps telling me!
Said that if get 16" and slam it 30mm I would be chaning tyres every 5-6 months???

100mm sounds good but may be on 16" ?
Dont want to lose too much speed and handling.
Oh, and is it true what my mate said?
If I get 16" and lower is 100mm will I be changing tyres every few months?
Cant afford to be doing that!
Will I have any probs lowering it 100mm on 16" ?
Any rubbing on full lock etc?
Thanks
