ou're on the right track with considering 17" wheels, especially for a high-performance, street-focused setup. Given the upgrades you’ve done and the fact that you’re not tracking it regularly, the right tire and wheel combo will make a big difference in handling, stability, and overall driving enjoyment.
Wheel Size:

For a 1978 Euro 930 with ~450hp, you’ll want a good balance of grip and responsive handling without compromising too much on comfort. A 17” wheel is a great choice because you get access to modern tire technology while still fitting well with the car's classic look.

Front wheels: 7.5” to 8” wide, typically with a 23mm offset. This will help maintain the factory look and fitment while allowing you to run a higher-performance tire.
Rear wheels: 9.5” to 10” wide, with a 25mm to 35mm offset. This gives you enough room for wider tires to better match your car’s power and provide a solid grip on the road.
