The original car came with 15-inch tyres, but the previous owner changed them to 17-inch tyres.
Will this make the car more difficult or expensive to repair later?
Will it affect the suspension or undercarriage?
That’s really unfortunate…
If I want to change all four tyres and rims from 17-inch back to 15-inch, how much would it cost?

Lowered the car? 17 inch tyre definitely expensive compared to the 15 inch for sure

From my experienced with my old toyota camry acv30 2.0e year 2003, installed gab adjustable absorber and gab spring, setup bit stiff then standard.. The lower arm and some handling parts tend to worn out fast plus the tyre also the same, now all back to factory standard for the absorber and spring plus all handling parts changed, it feels better now 😻 👍

Pretty much depends on current availability in the used market. I guess you would want as close to original as possible so here are some deals for you to consider Tyres excluded: Sport rim second 15 Almera Nissan OriTyres included: Rim original enkei nissan almera 15 inch siap tayaNismo 15 inch sportrim Wira satria almera alza

Almera is not a powerful car
Change to bigger rim will make it sluggish
Please don't hog the traffic
