Close as the high offset is not a problem on 17's as they clear the track rod ends

Yes, I think your tyres will hit the wing/fender if you fit 17's. You'll need arch extensions as without them 17's look out of proportion too.

Can't say if they would fit a stock car the and not really that practical I used them to move the car lots of rubing if you turn the wheel and the drift effect from the rear as they rubbed that much smoke poured off them
