I ran some 7.5 x 18s for a short while.....

there honestly too big for the car. you can do it but you need major arch mods (flaring, liners remove etc...) and it will still scrub unless you have rock hard suspension. I was told the major factor is the width of the rears... as you go up into the arch your fairly limited for space.

choose your 17s right and they'll look cool anyway.
