Daniel:
I think you will be pleasantly surprised as to the outstanding handling the 17" rims and 45-series tires will have to offer. I originally had 17" AMG rims with 215/45ZR-17 tires on my 1986 2.3-16V. I've since changed to 16" AMG rims (painted Pearl Black to match) with 215/50VR-16 tires. I tell ya, as soon as my wife forgets how much I paid for the painted rims, I'm going to switch back to 17" (not my original AMGs tho' -- they are chrome and I don't like chrome). In summary, I feel you've made a WISE decision to go with the 17-inchers.
