Also decided that the sports suspension has to go...

What wheel/tyre set up are you on?

Got the staggered 19s, which I'm quite happy with, and a set of worn out Diamaris (sp?), that are due to be replaced. I know the ride harshness is partly because of that.

One of the big attractions of the 17s is that your spare can fully compatible with your road wheels. With both standard suspension and 17s the ride is surprisingly good even on bush tracks. |

The only down sides are having to store them somewhere and the hassle of changing them out when I want to go bush (I like the look of the 19s and would want to keep them for the 90% of the time that I'm on made roads). But, for a couple of hundred dollars and a trolley jack, it's worth looking in to.

There are two factory options in 17-inch wheels, style 57 and style 130. I'm not sure about after-market wheels. As for tyres there's lots of choice from a road through to all terrain. I really like my 235/65R17s Pirelli Scorpion ATRs. They give excellent all-road performance. If you can live without the looks of the staggered 19s, then I think you'll find the 17s will be fine everywhere, even on smooth bitumen. If you don't need an ATR tyre, there's also plenty of choice with road-pattern 17s.
