You won't find a cheap one in that size, if you really really have to run a 17", then I would suggest changing your stud pattern to 5x114 and your choices will be endles, but in 4x100, they are rare as hen's teeth finding second hand ones and new one's will be 2 or 3 piece jobbies, and will cost you at the very least $1000 a wheel.
You'll have more luck finding 16x9, but even they are pretty rare. I gave up trying to find wide 17" and swapped over to 16".
You will be able to fit the wheel on the back ok, but you will possibly have problems in the front with that size, the headlight assembly encroaches into the space in the wheel arch, and will most likely rub/hit the front bumper on the turn if it is stock, it is surprising how much room it looks like you have got until you turn the wheel, so might have to consider a stagger of 255 on the rear and 235/45 on the front.
Is this for track use or just for general road use, and are you doing it for looks, or for grip?
