    I have good brand tyres on mine and my car did it for about 500k after i put my 19" on, but doesn't do it so much now unless I'm going really slow

    If they have the same size tyres on em and one rim is an inch bigger (and most likely wider) then your gonna have some tyre roll issues.

    Basically, on the 17, the tyre will be stretched over the 17 more so than the 16, leaving less side wall. The 16 will have some play in the wall under load around corners etc.

    With a bigger rim and less tyre, you get ride issues with bumps and etc because the dampening effect is reduced due to a lack of air etc in the rim. A 15 with rubber is usually the same size as a 17 with rubber as the tyre is designed to be "low profile".

    Pulling may be a likely cause of poor alignment. I believe toe adjusts this.

    Im not sure what your issue is, bit hard to understand... but basically your adding a lot of different ride characteristics to your car when you have bigger rims so you need to ensure your suspension is adjusted to meet the new requirements.
