i changed my 16" rim to a 17" aguilla sport rim and i absolutely love my cat more than ever before, however the ride comfort is gone and i have this stiff ride and even feel very small bumps on the road. Again it feels like the front suspension is gone though i never noticed that when i drove with the 16" rim. Anyway am currently running on 245/45R17 and i dont know what to do to enjoy comfortable ride.
Again there is this annoying rattling from the left side of the dashboard and i have tried to find what is causing that and how to fix it but have not been successful.![Icon Denk](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_denk.gif)
Any help?

You did two things to change your ride comfort. Larger wheels and as a result shorter tires. You didn't mention the brand of tires you put on the 17s but that could be contributing to your extra stiffness. Check with your tire shop and see what they recommend as a softer tire for the wheels and your car.
It is expected to get a stiffer ride for every increase in wheel size but your tires could be making it worse than it has to be.
