Default Re: Need new tires/rims - going SMALLER in size
One of the downsides to larger wheels, especially if they're cheaper aftermarket ones, is added weight. The increased unsprung weight has a tendancy of making the ride rougher. Since ride quality is a concern, make sure you don't end up replacing the current 17" wheels with another set of boat anchors or else you'll spend a lot of money just to have a similar ride.

Unfortunately, I don't know what's a good upper weight limit for the PT Cruiser...
