17'* will fit over GXP calipers and rotors but you must make sure that you have the back spacing for them or bad news. i have a pair of front GXP calipers sitting here that were going to be put on my ride until the recent unfortunate events. so basically only 17" bonnie wheels will cut the deal right for ya

Most 17 inch rims wont work on the GXP. I distinctly remember someone trying 17 inch GP wheels and it was a no go. The GXP spare is 17, but designed for the caliper and still like mentioned, only has a credit card thickness of clearance on the caliper.
