You will need to change the tyre size to avoid rubbing. Wayne can elaborate on that one..

As for shocks and springs i'm not a fan of cheap so i was running SPAX, they were awesome!

Now runnin AP coilovers on the fron and you can notice the difference..

Wheel size has no effect, well as long as you use the correct ratio tyre with them.
For 17's its 215/40 max but better to go for 205/40

I ran 205/40/17 with a offset of 35, had to trim the rear arches, TT comps are 32 offset from memory.
