just wondering, cos the wheels im looking at dont come in 17x7, does it make much difference, does anyone have this size of wheel on?

you will need to cut the rear arches up to the arch extension bolt holes and then bond the arches back on, do the same with front and ya still gotta mod the arch liner or ditch it

i would think not
id say that an 17*8's would be close to rubbing on the suspension ?

17x8  no chance, 17x7 rub on the inner arch anyway, you will never get those on unless oyu have wide archs and then use spacers.

aye you want 17x7's ideally, 7.5 will go also but 8's will be to wide

You'd need quite a low offset to keep the wheel from touching inner suspension components. You'd certainly get contact with the outer arches which is fixable. Big job though, larger than finding narrower wheels.
