17's will be fine. you may notice a decrease in initial accelleration and a decrease in braking performance due to the greater diameter of the wheel, however if you get the proper tire size your spedometer will not have a problem, and rubbing would not be a problem. although i believe the true tire size should be 215/45/17 - double check on tirerack.

the only other thing you'd have to consider is the offset of the rims themselves, because you wouldnt want the tires to rub against your struts, or not be able to fit properly onto the car or need spaces (not recommended for just having oem studs).

but besides that, you'd notice a firmer ride and better handling.
