I'd stay well clear of 17" wheels. They'll make the handling much worse, as well as acceleration, etc. If you want big wheels, stick to 16's with the right size tyre, then slam it. No substitute.

everyone seems to be anti-17s on here but i love mine,its lowered 50mm on em with 205/40/17 falkens and rubs a tiny amount on bulkhead/inner arch but thats rare,i suppose its down to personal choice and taste really,,wouldnt swap mine though and the handling is outstanding,,it REALLY sticks to the road,

I'd agree with Rich - 17/18s make the high speed (40mph+) much more planted and only first gear acceleration suffers noticabley

I don't think they are anti 17's - just that the best compromise and least hassle is 15's or 16's

Plus your speedo is 7% out on those tyres

Got to go low so keep away from 17". Get some 14" and slam the t**s off it.
