this is the thing, finding a decent size tyre / slick for 17's is bad enough
16's (which the datapost are) is even worse
i might give in and go back to 15's atleast plenty of choice in tyres

I've got TH2's fitted. It's a very tight due to the 17" only come in a 8.5 or 9" wide rim. I had to trim a couple of mm's off the inside endge of the arches to stop the tyres catching.
If you decide to go fo them Gus let me know as i can give you the correct offsets for front and back as they are different.

Theyre goregeous rims, I love my RL7s but reckon these are the holy grail, definately worth paying the premium for sticky 16" tyres.

I was going to say I'm sure Will's got TH's in 17 which aren't silly wide.
And Gus, I've thought long and hard about this and just to help you out, I will swap my MO's for your Dataposts.
