Megane wheel swap - Xileno {P}
What would happen if I removed the 17 inch Sports alloys from my 2004 Megane and put 16 inch alloys on? Obviously I would need to tell my insurance, but what mechanical implications would there be? Would the speedometer not be accurate anymore?

I have a feeling that 16 inch alloys will make the ride better.

Thanks

So long as you increase the tyre profile so that the rolling circumference of the tyre is the same then the speedo will remain accurate. Its the taller tyre profile that will also improve your ride.
