What offset are they ?

Not a fan of 17's as they bugger up the handling too much, unless you just want them for maccy d's car park stuff

Won't happen i don't think, people have enough problems fitting 16x8, 17's would need serious chopping of the arches and probably fuck up the handling.

You can get 16x7 six spoke MO's

You'd need to get them in ET40. And roll the arches. But they'd go on. 215/40/17 tyres would help.
