Try my 17x11's on it. 
On a serious note I was looking at the FAQ. Looks like it could use a section on tires/wheels. There is something there for the bolt pattern but not the various wheels that can fit.

Wheel/tire FAQ
Vashner is 100% right here.
A thorough entry in the FAQ's instead of all the hand wringing about newbies asking questions would be a great addition. The difference in the offset needed for 12A 4on 110 VS SE 4 on 4.5" is often overlooked. The good info is scattered in with bogus comments in hundreds of posts. Tire fitment also is poorly covered and the posts in the record usually have as much misinformation as good data. A newbie will not be able to filter the BS from the real info.

Looks nice. Is that stock ride height? Whats the offset of the wheels and did u have to cut anything like the fenders to get them to fit? Also how thick are the wheels adapters and how much farther does the wheel stick out?

17 x 7 with a +40 offset. The only issue I had was some minor rubbing in the rear fender lip. That was with the stock ride height. If you tell Excaliber what you have, what you want to run (size, offset, and bolt pattern), they will make you what ever.

So you are volunteering to gather this information?
Why don't you get with the tire rack and request this information? They are a sponsor of the club. If you can get them to do an official rim fitment of 1st gens with the different wheel sizes then I will be happy to archive it.

How about a sticky thread that shows a pic of your 1gen wheels ( on the car) and list the size, offset, weight, and your comments on the wheels. Seems this is a topic that is asked alot so lets make this easy to find.

We already have the picture thread in the non-tech section. Why not have the guys that have 17 inch wheels on their vehicles state their user name here. Then we can view their pictures in the picture thread?
They can post their offsets and comments here. then I can put the link for the picture thread here so that members can view by user name for their specific rim size and offset?
