Don't know if this has been discussed before-did going to the 17" wheels change your speedometer accuracy? Did you consider yellow on the calipers? I have a yellow SS as well, and I'm debating if yellow calipers would be a bit too much.

When in doubt, silver always looks clean.

As long as the overall diameter is the same of your tires the speedo won't be off. Larger rim, thinner tire.

No change in Speedo accuracy, as Chibi says above, just a lower profile tire, I run 225/55/17s rather than the 225/60/16s and it comes out just about perfect. I did consider yellow calipers, but I thought the red would show up better with the yellow all around it.
