I got 14" wheels and I'm thinking of running 15" instead because I'm gonna start converting my Rhino from city use to off-road... Is it still doable to do 28x9-15 or should I make do with 30x10-15? Is it the larger the better? I'm gonna do more upgrades and make this for big build. Should I just keep the 14" instead since I think the normal is 12x7 lol HELP

Yep, you can use 15" for your Rhino so long as your suspension and clearance can handle it. You're not alone in that! Actually pretty common for off-road builds you know :) Bigger isn't always better bc you get one but bigger and torque is gone. So I guess depending on how extreme you're planning to go, your 15" is great :)

yeah, man! Turning a Rhino into an offroad beast is a blast.
You're definitely on the right track, thinking about bigger wheels and tires. For offroading, larger tires generally give you more ground clearance and better traction in gnarly stuff, which is usually a win
 
Been thinking of doing the same. I wonder what brands you'd recommend for this
Depends what kind of performance you want. For the casual off roader the best is probably the Maxxis Carnivore, but there are other options that do better in mud, others that are better for sand etc.

@PIVOT! the ground clearance will noticeable with the 15s, but you're adding additional weight from the wheels and tires, so @Toky0Toky0 is right, it will feel a bit sluggish.
