17's are iffy.

15 = ~195/55 or 195/50 depending on the car.
16 = ~205/45 or 205/40 depending on preference/car

14's = ~175 or 185 with the usual commuter size.

Though how much were tires? $350 a piece? I remember half-decent tires for my 17's were $275.

I had 17's but I don't suggest them. I think that is too big, but whatever you want. If I wanted anything but the stockers on right now, I would probably go 15's, but it depends on what mods you are doing to the car (looks-wise). VX wheels are really light as well as HX's if you want to go that route.

its your car. build it how you want to but if you still want good ride quality id go with 15 or 16. as for tires that depends on what you want to spend, quality, and what your going to be doing-racing, daily driving, etc....
