I haven't thought about going down to 17', but that's a very interesting direction.
I wasn't sure they fit with our original brakes, i thought 18' was the mininum.

Regarding the front, i'm willing to go with 235 front, 245 rear, maybe on 17' there is a bigger variety of competitive wheels.
As i'm writing this, i'm more convinced it might be a great idea.

Will the 17x8.5" ET40 fit both front and rear well?
They should fit all around, but I can't guarantee I'm just comparing to the wheel set ups I've had.

And like I said you will need to lose the vibration dampers off the brake pads to fit 17s.

Also I would recommend camber plates.
Talk to Harold at HP Autosport. That's where I got my Ohlins and Vorschlag camber plates.
