1. Can it be done
2. Where can they get a size conversion chart
3. How would it affect handling.
4. How the heck would it look? (I think it might look a little strange)

If you look in the manual, where it talks about putting snow tires on, you have to replace the rear rims with 18's like on the front, and then put a set of 4 18" snow tires. I'm not sure I'd want to put 17's on the front.

I have seen people here on the forum who've put 19's on the front and 20's on the rear. Try a search for "foose" for some of those threads.
