As long as there are 26" tires on the new 17" wheels then your good.

i see.. so if the tire is lower profile then on the 16 it will equal out... do you know what tire size = 26 inches?

stock yopu had 245/50r16
with the 17" wheels you want 245/45r17

that will keep you at stock ratios

245/45/17 or 275/40/17 will be the same height as stock = no adjustment necessary.
