I put 17"s on my 1.2 (standard ride height) and had no problems at all. Hope that helps! They're for sale if you're interested

So long as there the righ offset and a decient width you should be fine.

I had 17's on my 172, went on no problem and didn't rub either.

Funnily enough they are for sale too in the car parts for sale section

my mate has a 172 sport and has just put a set of 17s on lowered 60mm all round,he did have problems with rear tyres catching the rear inner arch so he took them out,he's sorted that now and everything else is fine!

I have 17's on my 1.2 lowered -60mm and no problems with 4 people in the back too.

i had 17s on my old 172 they were fine on standard hight then i lowered it 60mm and they rubbed slightly front and rear so raised 10mm then all was fine

with a ET42 offset you will be fine - also depends how much if anything you are going to lower it by

 

[Turkish]

They'll go on fine as long as you have the right offset you can lower without any/major rubbing. But to be honest i'd stick with 16s the car drives much better on them.
