you'd probably need sum kinda arch work done for them 2 fit firstly, they shouldnt really affect the handling more the performance! this is down to the fact that 17" rims have to rotate more tahn lets say ur 14/15" wheels! i would personaly get them fitted if i were u cos the look the nuts! also see in to gettin a tyre that is a smaller in width for a good look!!

The RS7's don't just come in 17" they were also available in 15" and 16", although the latter I understand are pretty rare.

i had 17's on my old mk4, have to cut alot off the rear bumper due to having to fit lil spacers to clear the suspension cups. you can do it your self with an angle grinder and some ceilant. look the nuts though!!
