I have a 2011 Horizon Turquoise Pearl CR-Z with 16`stock wheels and 195 / 55 R16 tires. I can get a deal on some 2013 17`wheels with Michelin pro sport 3 205 / 45 R17
Does anyone have a picture of this combo? And how does it affects the comfort while driving? Thnx!

I like it more with the bigger wheels cause it is in my opinion more sporty. But it is also harder, but the car sitts better on tge street.

I can only extrapolate based on my somewhat limited experience.

Going to a 205/50 R17 combo has yielded little to no change in ride comfort. Little change in steering response, either. The Pilot Sport 3 tire, being a high-performance summer tire would probably yield a more firm ride and sharper response than 16's.

Upgrade rim size would trigger discomfort.
But by using a lower profile tyre the steering is more responsive, give you a sharper handling.
