I know this is an old thread but this is relevant if anyone wants more pics of libs with 17s http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.p ... 59916.html

Also, the fast H6 with 17s mentioned above now runs 19s :)

I recently joined the 17" club and I'm here to stay.

After coming from 19s the car feels 100% better to drive with more sidewall and half the weight per rim.

I'm currently on 235/40/17 because they were on the wheels when I bought them, but I will be going to 235/45/17, which will be even better still.

It's pretty much ride, handling, performance, tyre price vs looks and I'm now slightly less shallow :)

They don't actually look that bad aside from the fact they are 7.5 +50, so I have a bit of the old sunken look, but if I was ever to make these track wheels and get some wider 17s for street I would be happy with the look.

Plus 17s are more sleeper.
