Depending on the Kit, if they are 332mm/13.1 or smaller they should fit.

it depends on the style and off set of your wheels also
u have to worry about the rotors AND CALIPERS
most 17s will probly clear 312mm
and they might not clear 332mm dependin on the wheel
but most cheap wheels wont clear brembo/Porsche calipers

dont know where cost of the wheels comes into play. 17's will fit the 13/328mm rotors, thecaliper depends on the offset of the wheel if you will need spacers, not cost. If you findwheels with a simular offest as stock you will be fine in most cases.
