    Yes and Yes. The offset is the most important part, though.

    17"x7" +40mm fits fine on my 323 with a 205/45/17 tire.

      Oh yea, and if I were to do it again, I'd get 15x7" kosei K1 racing wheels. Cheap and light. My 17s are light, but they are still A LOT heavier than stock.

      If you're looking to make your car sportier, don't bother with 16s or 17s. Trust me

        You have to be a bit more specific. What width are we talking about? 16" and 17" wheels will fit as long as the width and the offset of the wheels are proper.

        while you're out there, you might as well adjust your air/fuel ratio by smell... and your tire pressure by ride height

            16" x 7" should fit fine. As for the offset, you should be looking at +38 to +40 or something close to that. Make sure you find out the offset of the whees before ordering them, but most likely they'll fit with no problems.

                      i have 16 x 6 with a 38mm off set

                      remember the off set is measured from the center line of the rim.
                      When you turn your car on... does it return the favor?
