You're going to have 2 problems with changing your wheels.
The 1st will be the pinion factor has changed. The smaller wheels will cause the speedometer to read incorrectly and also your odometer to read wrong. You may be putting miles on your car that aren't really there.
This can be fixed by changing the pinion factor in the controller. You will need a dealer to do this or someone with access to a Star Scan .
The 2nd will be the loss of the TPMS sensors on all 4 wheels. This has the potential to cause the most problems. the controller may compensate by changing fuel, timing and/or shift patterns. At the very minimum, the "service tires soon" light will come on as well as the "check engine" light.
I would leave the wheels alone, it may be cheaper to do that.

as long as the outside diameter of the tires are the same the pinion factor would not need to be changed and the tpms issue could be fixed by either swapping the sensors over or getting a second set of sensors for the other wheels the sensors would have to be trianed to the car every time you swap wheels and tires if you go with a second set of sensors the tpms would have no effect on engine performance and will not turn on the check engine light only the tpms light
