The problem with putting a smaller wheel on the car is that the speedometer is set for a 19" wheel, you will need to get the speedometer recalibrated for the smaller wheel.
Wheel size has NOTHING to do with speedo, it's over-all tire diameter. If you place a 17" wheel/tire combo that has the same diameter as your 19" was, you speedo will be correct.
