5x17 ? i hope u mean 5 piece of 17 inch not 17inch by 5 inch rim

correct size will be 205/55/16 using 16inch by 6.5inch rim

 

205 50 will improve comfort at lose of some handling, better than going 16 unless u want better fc

Thks bro, ya typo error 5 pcs of 17"

Now thinking of either maintain 17" but get a set of lighter rims, current feedback that the stock 215/45/17 tires kind of bumpy on the road, maybe can compensate by changing tires to 205/50/17....but lose of some handling as mentioned but then again mine not performance ride more to pt A to B ride

If on FC, then I down to 205/55/16 as recommended

changing to 205/50/17 would be just as bumpy cos sidewall depth not much diff.. a downsize to 16" rims 215/50/16 or 205/55/16 would be better if u wan better comfort..

take a calculator and calculate 50% of 205mm and 45% of 215mm and see if its not much different
