He didn't trade an 18" for a 17" rear wheel, he went to a wider 17" rim. A 19" front wheel will provide much better road handling with minimal penalty offroad. Personally I don't seee the point in running a 19" front knobby though, I woulfd think that would take away many of the benefits of switching to a 19" wheel. As long as he likes it, thats good enough for me.
