there will be a weight difference, roughly 60g on avg. however 17.5's now have so much power and MM carries so much more corner speed, i doubt you feel a drop in lap times

at 32/69 my car could lift the front wheels off the ground when the track was prepped at 80% throttle so your car has power to spare.. you wont be losing any races b/c your running saddles.. until recently it wasn't even an option.
