i'm running std 16's on mine and 20mm spacers at the rear
personal pref i would say mine look fine so your 17's will also the offsets are different in the wheel sizes as you know so my 20 you may find that 15's bring you close to the arch just as an example

Remember to use hubscentric spacers pal.
You can't go over 6mm with a universal spacer anyway and you'll hate yourself for buying them, they'll end up in bin.
Should get bolts with proper spacers, Or have you already bought some ?

I hope not, I've got 15mm for the rear and 5mm for the front ready to go on with my 17s
Although I will be putting my 18s on as soon as I get tyres

Brought nothing just finding info out about it all and coatings as I have no idea. Also to get the car to practically having no gap between arch and wheel what do I need as seen pics and it looks sweet but also worried when I have 4 people in for damage etc to archs

Basically with universal spacers there no "hub" to sit on so there has to be enough left on the actual hub for the wheel to sit.
Fronts i think around 10mm is the absolute max.
Rear will have more leeway, don't know.
They're a pain in the ass anyway when removing wheels ect..
