Well I have the stock brakes, which look sooo tiny lol. They're a +42 offset and 18s so clearance won't be an issue. Not sure about the 17s though, although it seems you should have enough clearance for BBKs.

Depends on the tire size. My 18s are only about .2-.3" taller in overall diameter than the stock 17s. (if that) You can get 18s and end up looking like theres more wheel gap...
