Yeah, you should have no problems with 17" wheels and std suspension. You will want to put low-profile tyres on your wheels though. You will want 195/40/17 tyres, and the job's a good'un

It's been done, I'm sure there's pictures somewhere. I personally wouldn't say they'd be practical though. It really depends on what you want.

*EDIT* Found it!

Yeah, I'm being impartial though. I don't think anyone's opinion is really needed in this thread. He didn't ask for anyone's opinion, he just asked whether 17" wheels would fit on a 6N. I just gave him an impartial and objective answer.

Sorry for sounding cranky (as usual, hehe) maybe I should go to bed.

youll have to remove the mudflaps to get 17s,,even on std susp,,,plus the front inners will rub a little on full lock.
