My rims are 17 x 9. Tires are 245-45 up front and 285-40 rears NITTO NT555's. Your challange in the 17" diameter will be tire height. Mine are 26" but the stock 15" tire height in 1970 was about 26", later 2nd gen's were closer to 27".

My car is lowered about 1.5" in front and 0.75" rear. You could go with 255-50 17" tires as they are 27" tall and about 10.4" wide.

Good Luck
