Dropping wheel size allows for higher profile tyres to be fitted. Check with a dealer or the accessory options list for your car clearance over brakes is the main issue but most are ok an inch smaller might get smaller again. Also what tyres are you using some are better and dealing with rough surfaces than others

I think some cc models had 16” wheels
