I went minus sized as well. From 215/50/17 to 205/60/16. I don't notice too much of a difference other than a softer ride than stock because of the higher sidewall. Side benefit is that 16" tires are a bit cheaper than 17". :P

Only thing to watch for if you minus size is clearance for your brakes. The TSX I drive doesn't exactly have huge brakes, but the 16" wheels barely clear them.
