Default Wheel and Tire packages, 16" to 17" upgrade

Hey Everyone, I'm new here and was wondering what people's opinions are on a good wheel/tire package for going to 17". I really dont wanna break the bank, either. I'm pretty sure my tires are 205/55/16 now, (205/60/16 maybe?) and am looking to go to 215/45/17. anyone have success stories for me? thanks a lot!

-Kev

Sorry. I am going for the sporty yet classy style, and definitely not ricer. Right now I have a cold air intake on the 3.0 v6, love the sound. I'm afraid to mess with the exhaust, because i do NOT want the "coffee can" sound and dont have the funds for a quality cat-back system. So a nicer set of alloys and better tires (I hate the yokohamas I have) seems like a good way to go with the limited money available. Comments? I appreciate your help!

*Answering question, slightly off topic, SORRY!!!*

To be honest, I went for the "eBay special" due to lack of necessary funds for an expensive name-brand system. Umm, I know the one I got has a "brand name" but its slipping my mind. But it is pretty much like this.

I got mine for around 45 bucks. And since I originally put it on, I decided to use only the one tube with the hose hookups for a Short Ram setup. LOVE the sound and throttle response. And if you keep a good air filter goin on the end of it, I think your engine will keep smiling every time you push into it, too.
