If you got 16 foot rims it would not lower at all.. in fact it would raise quite a bit.

But I'm going to assume you meant 16" (inches) and not 16' (feet). The ride of your car should not change at all when you change your rims size... because you should choose tires that will make the overall diameter the exact same as stock.

Now Joe... you know better than that...

The ride WILL change if you follow your above statement..

If you go from a 205/60-15, to a 205/50-16, your ride will become a tad more firm, due to the reduced sidewall height..

More so if you go to a 215/40-17.. The shorter the sidewall aspect ratio, the "harder" the tire will feel, but the handling will increase, as sidewall deflection is reduced by the "shorter tire."


But I think that's what Joe meant to say ;)
