Tire shaving to fight premature camber wear?

If you are not worried about the looks, 17s make good sense. Cheaper tyres, as you say, plus even wear, better ride, less shock loading on the suspension, better sidewall-damage resistance, a much better choice of all-terrain type tyres if that's what you want, and the spare tyre also then matches the four road tyres. If the roads you drive on are bumpy, pot-holed and/or gravel it makes even more sense.
