Going from 17inch trd sport tires to 16inch...anyone have done this before?

So im in the shop and getting some new wheels put in. Going down from my stock 17inch trd sport to 16inch method wheels. Anyone have done this before?
Iam assuming will lose a bit on mpg or noise, handling?

 

i went from factory 17 to 16x8 with 10 ply wildpeakes 265/75/16 and lost about 2 mpg actually drives pretty similar and minimal noise

 

Not sure about mpg or noise but the wheel will be 1 inch smaller .

 

Why go down to a 16? You have many more tire options in 17.

Funny, i was wondering about putting 15” on my OR. Tires are cheaper and you get more flex out of the tire.

 

Will 15's clear the calipers? The oem 16's look like they could touch any second lol

 

I never got past kicking the thought around, but I’m sure you’re right.

 

I'd be all for a 15. Was hoping you would tell me I was wrong lol

 

15s are too small.

 

Yeah sorry about that tease!

 

So far its not that bad, I hardly see a difference

 

It's okay...my junk only twitched a little bit at the thought is all...

 

I have read on here that no 15” rim will clear the front disc brake caliper.

 

I’m skeptical that a 1” difference in rim diameter is going to make a noticeable difference in fuel economy or noise. I think the 17” rims on the sport are mostly for aesthetics. Differences in the tires might change things though, but specially if you are going to e-load high rolling resistance tire
