Yet Another Smoothie Question

So, I recently scrubbed my chrome OEM wheels like an idiot, and I am possibly looking into switching to 16 inch smoothies.

Currently I'm running on seventeens and I was wondering how this kind of change will affect the car. Things like the abs, traction control, stability control, and TPMS. What tire should I use? Is this even worth it on a car with 102000 miles (165000km)?

So long as the tire circumference is the same then you should have no issues.
I run the BF Goodrich Advantage T/A s 215/55R16's

I do the opposite, I run 17" in the summer and 16" steel in the winter, with no issues. Just be sure the diameter of the tires are the same as mentioned and the computers wont know the difference.
