Default wheel upgrade or downgrade i should say

I'm thinking about downgrading I should say my stock X 17" wheels to a set of kmc 16" wheels. I intend to be rolling on 35" tires.

I remember reading some positives of a smaller wheels such as more sidewall and cheaper tires. Am I going to regret downgrading from 17s to 16s? Any positive and negative feedback?

Thanks again in advance!

I went ffrom the factory rubicon 17"s down to 16" pro comps and love it. Not really too noticable but I am less concerned about rim damage off road. Im sure I can screw them up just as easy but it lets the tire flex easier. Go for it
