17" barely clear the brake line... I was going to put BWM 17" on mine, and the brake
line was about 1/4" from the rim. So, I did not even bother to try them in the front.
BMW wheels fit, but you would need hub-centric rings, the center bore is bigger
on BMW wheels.

Most 5x120 wheels fit with an ET38 offset or less.

I have a set of 17" Racestars with Hoosiers - 26" setup. These fit my stock suspension car just fine, just tie back the e-brake cable (as with any smaller than stock wheel).

ON mine, it's not the E-Brake cables it is the brake lines to the calipers. They were
like 1/4" away from the inside if the rim. Not that the brake line moves, it moves up and
down with the suspension, it's just REAL close. I sharp hit may flex it enough to rub the
rim.

I think 1/4" is fine. Just inspect it every now and then. If you never see rub marks on it, you're good.
