Switching to 17s the right way

Hi guys,
new to the site. new bmw owner. 2008 X3 M-sport.
Love it so far except for a few small things.

Major thing is that I live on a dirt road and it is rough much of the time. I am told that switching from the 19s with low profiles to 17s is at least the first thing to do.
I talked to the tire dealer (discount) and they are suggesting going with the 17 stock wheels and tires in size 225/60/17 to equal the diameter of my current ones.
This sounded reasonable but wanted to run it by this obviously experienced group first.
I know that they are less wide, will that look odd? Is there an alternative size that might work/look better? Any thoughts appreciated.
Thanks
