17's...How rough?

I really like the way 17" rims would look on my MX-3(thinking of Mille Maglia Spiders and 215-40's), but I was wondering how much stiffer the ride would become? I don't mind if it just makes it a little taut but I don't want to rattle my fillin' out. All responses will be appreciated.-RAA

I have 17s (also have GC coilovers) and oits pretty rough. Before i had the springs it was noticeably rougher than the 14s but not too bad.

With the 17's you can Feel all the little bumps and rocks in the road...

i found out when i put my mille miglia actions on, my mpg took a big nose dive from 280ish to 220ish per tank.
