The 17" diameter isn't a problem, the W201 can do 17" . . . the big question is what the offset (ET) is on the rim face and the actual width of the rim. The W201 has been known to be able to fit 8" wide depending on the ET.

I plan to run C230 Sport wheels (17x7.5 front 17x8.5 rear) with 215/40 tires. Like MTI said the offset is going to dictate what size tire you can run.
