Yea --- good luck on that one! Largest wheel I have ever been ever to find in the bolt pattern is 15 ...
Course with all those wheels with 600 holes for different patterns - Maybe you will! What ever happen to a set of Panasports? Ill sell you a set ... 13's - $800

Good luck with 17" rims on an FB. You are limited to around 24" OD for tires, so you'll be looking at 35-40 series. Between the heavier rims, and little sidewall, the ride is rough, and the performance declines.

Use this to figure out what tires to use:

To find out what your new effective final drive ratio will be, use this formula:
(original tire diameter * final drive ratio)/(new tire diameter)
In your case, the stock tire diameter is 23.2" and the final drive ratio is 3.909. Also, be sure to keep the braking system in mind if you increase the tire diameter and weight by very much.
