I recently went from a 17" tire back to my 15". The ride quality is night and day. I no longer cringe everytime I come up to a hole/bump in the ground. Its funny because My grilfriend noticed the difference right away to. She used to 'hold herself' when we'd see us approaching a bump/hole....she still does it to, but now she says 'wow, what a difference those tires made'....haha...

I do drive my car tho. If your drive less than 500km's a week, then I'd say go for the bigger wheels. I just couldnt take it anymore and then one day I switched to the 15's and havent gone back....the ride is just that much better. Handling wise, there is more flex due to the higher sidewall but other than that, its not really that noticeable.

its really a personal choice. I would suggest getting together with one of the guys here and go for a drive in a 17" equipped car to see how it is.
