I'm not referring to the width just the change in the diameter of the wheels vs what he has on the car

"The total diameter of your tire and wheels needs to be the same as your original equipment tires. If you vary from the total diameter by more than three per cent, you could be risking problems with your vehicle's computer, braking system, transmission and mileage."
That's a great point, as normally if you go from a 20 to a 22 etc the height of the tire sidewall indeed drops
Of course the problems caused by running beyond spec overall diameter wheels/tires doesn't sound like his problem. May be a combo of springs and the overall diameter being different who knows.

Either way hope OP gets a positive resolution
