Go bigger than 17s IMHO. Be at LEAST 18" and max 20". 17's are too small for this car especially with the wheelgap you will have.

I'm just getting this for winter tire, so i think 17s will be fine, so... any comment on the combos?

Either 9" all around or the 8"/9" combo

you want skinner wheels/tires for better winter traction. don't get anything bigger than 8".
if you want stagger, get 7.5 front and 8 in the rear.
but 7.5 all around makes more sense for winter use.

I would even consider 7", as long as the offset is right and they don't look too "shrunken" into the wheel well

anyone got picks? I need to buy a set soon for a toronto winter

In agreement with previous postings, go bigger. 18 is an ideal size and only a little bit more than 17. And go staggered.
