The reasonable side of me KNOWS you are right. The ridiculous side of me wants to say F it and try to make it work anyway... I am a functional guy all the way and the main reason I want to go to 17's is to run a square setup and tire costs.

Do you know any practical way of testing fitment? I'm thinking something like putting a ruler against the center caps and attaching something vertical from there to see where it fits in the fender. Pretty bootleg but I can't think of any other way and the wheels/tires are in AZ so I can't test fit.

Yeah, I think it is quite ambitious, but the rears I'm not quite so concerned with. The fronts are the big challenge here me thinks.
