none if its not loweed

you need

pcd 4 x 100
ET 49 - or as close to 49 as you can possible get
6.5 inch width is better but most 17`s are 7 inch wide

Only problem you'll have is that it'll look like a 4x4 with the arch gaps

Yeah it will look like a 4X4, I'd be more concerned at that.

Also, if you want to retain ride quality and handling I'd stick with 15's or 16's.
