   hes not asking for a guide to changing a wheel, he is asking for a guide on fitting 17" wheels. Not quite as simple as bolt on and drive off...

   its all trial and error with fitting bigger wheels, cutting and grinding is needed, also depends on what model car you have and if its lowered??

    You have to cut the bumper brackets on the rear bumper and the wheel arch liners.
