So, is it just a matter of looks? Can a 2002 accept a larger rim/rubber combo with sufficient fender clearance? Are the later models with the 17" rims still the same overall diameter as the older models with 16" rims? If it's just a matter of appearance, then no point in changing. If there's an advantage to larger rim/rubber (aka, more distance per revolution), then it's something to consider...if it will physically fit on the car. Not that I'm inclined to change...just curious.
