I used tire size calculator and saw that this wheel is smaller than the stock one, what's the good and bad points of using smaller wheels?

Thanks

Buy the correct tire size.

depending on the width of your wheel, the tire might be stretched, meaning the sidewalls of the tire will be touching ground w/ the tread. not good. the ride will be rougher because theres less tire to absorb the bumps.

unless you prefer that super low profile rubberband tire look, other than that there are no benefits at all.
