$1,100 for tires/rims BETTER solve the problem!!  ;-)

Exaltos and 17x7.5 Rota Subie rims & lugnuts for $940)

Also with 17's you run a lot better risk of bending a rim.  I was
running a 245/45/17 and bent rims.  albeit I heard now that the wheels
i had notoriously get bent.  A trip to Tire rack, and 1100 bucks later
solved the bent wheel problem.  oddly enough though, I swapped down to
a 245/40/17.  You would think I had learned my lesson...
