    yes it wont feel as heavy in the steering as a car with big wheels having bigger wheels also reduces highway fuel consumption

    The tyre is much too small mate. The most common tyre size for 17" wheels on commodores is 235/45/17. The difference between stock vs 205/65/15 and said tyres on ad can be seen for yourself at:

    Imho i wouldnt be getting them, especially if he cant even tell you if they'll definately fit your commo.

    Hope this helps
