Default Wheel Size for my friends Del Sol

He was wondering if it would be to big to put in 17s? HE found some nice looking wheels but only came in 17 or 18...opinions?

well i have 17s on my eg and im pretty sure the wheelwells are the same size and i had a friend a while back with 17s on a del sol but... you have to go with a very small 40 series tire and dodge every crack in the road and it doesnt ride all that great plus you lose gas mileage so the answer is yes you can fit them but in my honest opinion if i could go back id get a 15 or 16 inch rim

i'd steer clear of that purchase.

Big wheels on small cars 99% of the time look hideous.
