Cant speak for CarlRsT but he has told me his opinions on different size wheels...
He used to have 17x7.5's on his and he has no problems what so ever, go straight on...
He now has my 16x7's 5 spoke mondeo ones on and he finds the 17s the best as he says he thinks the 16's make it 'Skittish' and doesnt handle as well...
He is going back to 17's when the tyres are gone
He has also drove mine which is on the standard wheels and appart from the original suspension, wheel wise, it handles well...
Like i said i cant speak for him so i will get him to post when he gets back
