    I just went from 19” to 17” on my ‘24 XSE and there was only one size that matched the circumference of the OEM wheel and that was 125/55/17. The weight of the smaller rim/tire is virtually identical to the 19s I removed. The speedometer remained dead on as well as the miles meter due to matching the footprint of the OEM wheel / tire. The ride is now quiet at highway speed, the handling seems better, and I had a nice number of tires to choose from. I have not tested mileage.

    If you go to an 18 inch wheel from 19 inches, there is also one identical match to keep your mileage and speedometer synced up accurately - 145/45/18. I am not sure, however, if this will fit - if it does, it may be tight.

    Wow. What a difference in driving with the new wheels and tire size.
    Handles much better and looks much better in how it fills the wheel well.

    No issues what so ever.
