Wheel size - what would you recommend?

We are trading in our 59 reg Jazz S which rides comfortably on 175/65R15 tyres for a new Jazz ES Plus supplied with 185/55R16. Do you foresee any downside?

It won't ride as well and ride quality of a Jazz is fairly marginal anyway. They never had great suspension.
