Default What do i have to do to fit 17's to my series 1????

I'm getting some 17's in the next couple of weeks (AZEV's A) but i've been told i'l have to do some work to make them fit. I've been told that i've got to mod my washer bottle and change my springs. What are the best springs to have and how much arch work is there?????

take 16 wheel bolts off, jack car up twice, once on either side, remove 2 wheels on one side at a time, fit 2 new 17's at once on either side, bolt up 4 bolts on each wheel, 2 on either side at a time....... drive listen for rubbing....
