    You could do it if you took arch liners out and put really low profile tyres on (40's).

    Even then though it will likely rub with a full car or on full lock.

    I had 17"s down 50mm and it drained the performance of the car so much i switched to 15"s and never looked back.

    They look way too big imo, and would need arch work if going down that low on 17's if I'm right ? 16's are a good size for looks and 15's are best for all round looks and performance but thats my opinion.
