New mags / wheels = bad handling

Need some advice,

I recently changed my stock 16inch mags with 17inch advan white mags which came with a set of tyres.

Problem is the handling now feels very stiff, every time I go over a speed bump or ruff surface I can feel the vibration.

I’m still using my stock FTO suspension and shocks, is there something I can do to fix this?

Thanks in advance.

Well i'm guessing you've drop a profile size or 2 so with thinner tyres thats normal. Not to sure about what you can do.

Yep lower profile will definitly firm up the ride. You can fit a higher profile but then you could possibly start running into rubbing issues depending on offset and how high you go.

If I change the suspension (i.e. sports suspension) or get new shocks, would that make a difference to the stiff ride?
