yes they will fit, one in trunk, rest in seats if need be. Why did you go 17s? It's going to look like your on your winters, thats smaller then stock.

If you go 18s, go wider than 8s. Or 19s if you don't want to go wide.

You can fit 6 x 18" wheels in the car...

1 in the trunk
1 in the front seat
and 4 in the back seats stacked.

...and you still have room to see out your rear view mirror. If you give up that space, you can put 7 wheels... 5 in back!!!

rims with tires on them will be a tight fit, but doable. just make sure to have something to cover all the rubber or the inside of your car is going to get trashed
