17" versus 14" tires

I am opening a can of 17s look better than 14s worms here but I do think the 17s lend themselves to our cars very well, you seem to get a much larger choice of tires and wheels these day as well. I am running a 17 x 8 wheel and a 245 45 17 tire on mine and they do handle well through the curves but there is a trade off of smaller sidewall also means stiffer ride.

How is the front for rubbing when turning?
Room for 9” in back wheel well?
