Well, you could either go around your elbow to get to your A$$hole, or measure the offset and account for the overall inflated tire width.
*Edit*
As a matter of fact, I'm thinking that you might be better off going with either a Honda wheel or aftermarket 15/16 with the appropriate offset. See if you can trade those expensive 17's for something more practical? Those 17's are going to cause you to spend more money than it's worth IMO. And if you want to do a 17 right, you need bigger brakes, camber kit, taller ride height, etc... Replacement tires and rotors will cost more.
P.S. you'll be hard pressed to find a better ride quality than what you have if you like lower than stock. If you must keep those wheels,
OmniPowerUSA.com get the omni-man coilover package with camber kit and keep the blues. That's going to be the most economical way IMO. Ride quality will depend on your choice of spring rate.
