Going with 17's opens up a huge variety of wheels. You willing to do some work to get them on or are you looking for a pretty much bolt-on wheel? We've done A TON of both. Here's a couple pics of cars we've done in the last month or two. Give us a call if you want some more info.

I'm not going to say that they'll bolt right on, but yeah, you can get anything to fit!
Putting modern wheels on your car is going to require some work. Redrilling hubs for a different bolt pattern, spacers, sometimes rolling the fender lips, etc. Every cars a little different too. Sometimes a completely stock, accident-free looking car will end up having more than an inch less clearance on one side.
Just need to test fit, tweak, test fit, tweak, etc.
