Define "arch work" lol. 17" should be fine if the wheels aren't too wide.

Would also be easier on a saloon/5dr over a 3dr, as the round arches give more room

17s don't look right unless they're slammed into the arches which on the front aint easy!

High offsets will munch bearings, big wheels shouldn't alter the loadings too much, unless they're not balanced.
