Ride quality tends to improve as you go narrower with the wheels, so that's to be expected.

To get a staggered wheel diameter package to fit on a lowered car?

^also could effect the effective gear ratio slightly

smaller rear tire is like going a bit higher in gear ratio while larger is equivalent a lower gear ratio. Not sure how small the difference ends up being though.
