Hi.
Surprised no-one has come in here yet. I'm not expert but to change wheel sizes you must also have compatible size tyres to suit the change of wheel size, - all to do with the 'rolling circumference' being kept within tolerance. There have been loads of similar threads recently with some expert advice and options, so do a search and you'll find your answer.
Cheers.
