The size of the rim is not what changes the ride. IT is the amount of tire between the rim and the road.

2005 F250 you want to change from 17 inch tires and wheels to 18 inch how do you keep the speedometer accurate?
keep the tire ride height the same.
Does tire size change power?
No. The power of your vehicle remains the same but your vehicle may feel less powerful with bigger tires and vise versa Updated answer The advantage of larger tires, is a smoother ride on badly maintained roads. A larger tire smooth the smaller pot holes, as the surface area of a larger is increased. A 14 or 15 inch tire is about right for a saloon car.

Will 17 inch tires and rims from a 2007 silverado fit on a 2000 silverado with 16 inch tires and rims will it screw up speedometer reading?
The Rims will fit as long as they are the same number of studs and puting 17 inch rims on will not screw up your speedo as long as the tires you use have the same outside diamiter. If they are the tires that came with the original 2007 silverado they will be the same outside diamiter as your 16" wheels and tires You can also adjust for larger tires on the speedometer with a hypertech controller.

1999 Cougar V6 with 16 wheels handles nice but rides harsh- what is the best way to make the ride smoother?
Performance vs comfortunfortunately performance handling and comfort of ride don't coexist very well. For every bit of ride comfort you gain some handling will be lost. The best bet is to shoot for something in the middle by changing the tires for something less aggressive or performance oriented and the same for the shocks.
If a taxi driver wishes to increase his fares by adjusting the size of his tires should he change to larger tires or smaller tires?
Smaller. A 20 inch tire will rotate (and add miles) more than a 25 inch tire as it covers the same distance.
