Tire Wheel Combo

[Theron J. Bliss]

You shouldn't have any problems fitting 17".  If I could do it on my golf, you
definately can on the 5k.  Probably like a 225/40-17, or a 215/45-17 would work
great.  Just double check your offset, but if the rims have the wrong offset,
spacers can be safely used.  Check out some of these sights:

I hope this helps.  I also have a tire size conversion chart in xls (Excel)
format if you want to properly plus size tires.  It gives you circumfrence and
RPM divergence.
