So any of us going from that size are moving up almost an inch in diameter by going to the 17"s. This is the same as having slightly taller gears.
My friend with a normal aspirated 911 went back to 16"s on his ride because he can feel the bigger tires take longer to get rolling.

If you're referring to me I actually picked up a set of 15" Fuchs with 24" tall tires - mainly for the less unsprung weight and gearing differences.
My 15" setup on my NA car doesn't apply too much in this 930 thread. Also a quick fyi - my rear 275/40/17 Azenis measure out to be 25" tall on the 11" wide wheels.
