17" up to 20" wheel should fit with no problems with the correct offset/back spacing, close to stock tire height, and a wheel width of 10.5" or less. FYI, a stock height tire on a larger wheel height will make the tire to fender lip gap appear wider. For example 245/50/16, 275/40/17, 275/35/18, and a 275/30/19 tire are all within 3/16" of having the same overall height, but the tire to fender lip gap will appear to get wider as you go up in wheel height, but it really doesn't. So you might want to consider at least a mild lowering to keep the gap from appearing unusually large, giving the car the off-road lifted look!
