I have run 17 tire/wheel combos (all from the Tirerack) on my Honda Prelude, BMW 3-series, Audi TT quattro and now '02 Aero. If you are sensing wobble, my suggestion is a wheel out of balance/true. Front wheel drive cars are especially sensitve. Have them rebalanced - look for excessive weight on one or more wheels. If so, they will need to be partially dismounted so that the heavy ends of the wheels and tires are on opposite sides (I know, circular objects don't have ends - but you know what I mean). I had to do this on my latest set of Dunlop SP9000's monted on Borbet 17x8.5 wheels. The wobble is now gone...
Happy driving
Eric
