16" wheel upgrade on Keystone Cougar

I'm considering upgrading my 32 foot 5er to 16" wheels. Has anyone done this? The main reason is to allow me to upgrade to XPS Ribs which are not available on 15s. Are there any clearance issues? I'm also considering changing out the axles to 8 lug 7K with disk brakes while I'm at it. Any input will be welcome.
