 From Jens Hansen (Hansen Motorsport, Germany), regarding 17" wheels:

>well wheels will fit up front, easy to 8"" and usualy also 8.5".
>The following offsets are pretty common:
>7.5" => 25, 20, 15, 10
>8" => 20, 15, 11, 10 (with some wheels 25 will be possible, too)
>8.5" => 20, 15, 13, 12, 10

>in the rear, the wheels will fit to 11".
