Why 17" Alloys

By plus sizing you can decrease the depth of the side wall, which in turn allows for less deflection of the side wall during cornering. Benefits of this have to offset against increasing the unsprung weight of the wheel/combination.
To demonstrate that it works look at the Impreza WRC in tarmac spec. It wears 18in rims. Its nothing to do with its appearance - just have a look at the same car in ice/snow spec with its ridiculous thin and tall looking tyres. Its what works in the conditions the car is driven.
