HELP: 16" alloy wheels VS 17" alloy wheels

I am about to purchase a 06 Sienna LE. With the package, it has 16 inch alloy wheels. My wife felt a bit bumpy in the third row. Does it help if I move up to 17 inch alloy wheels? In addition, do they make much difference in terms of feeling it or safety improvement? Worth the money or not? Anyone can give me an advice?

no, 17" wheels will make it MORE bumpy.

the 17" wheels are a little more stable on the highway and provide a little better high speed handling. For a minivan, they're probably not worth it.
