Do 17 inch wheels and tires usually rub or is it once you get into bigger wheels and tires that they do that. i know that the tires that are on a set of wheels im looking at arent big, theyare more low-profile and wanted to know before i buy them if i will need to roll my fenders?

What I'd do is go to an online tire and rim site. Enter your car info and put in 17" rims. A good site should try to match the rubber and rims to as close to stock as possible. Then check the tire number against the rubber on the rims you are buying.

Or try this site:

Should give you an answer.
