Luke Question on replacing stock wheels/tires

Luke, Looking to replace the stock 16's along with the double spoke wheels and keep them for the winter. I would like to jump up to a 17" wheel but notice you are limited on styles, Do you plan to carry more styles or can order if I find the one I am looking for. Also looking for a good 17" luxury ride tire to go along.

I would go with 18's but it appears you loose that luxury ride and end up with a good gap between the fender and the wheel.
Thanks for the help

depends on the weather
if you look at tire specs in genreal you will find that the upgrade will not alter your current fender gap ....

205/55-16 = 25"
225/45-17 = 25"
225/40-18 = 25"

the 18's really do not give up a huge amount of ride quality .... many MB models come with 18's stock .....
