Considering engine I'd say 17x7,5 is maximum. Tyres 17x45x215

Here is a link for a tyre calculator from the Rochford Tyres site:
https://www.alloywheels.com/tyrecalc.asp
Use this to work out what size tyres you will need if you put bigger wheels on your car but still want the speedo to work acurately.
There is a good range of alloys on their website too.

You will have to go for 225/40/18 or 215/40/18 tyres which will have a different feel to the standard profile tyres. A harder ride and a tendency to tramline. Better handling though.

19's will fit with 35mm profile, may scuff very slightly on full lock depending on the offset you get. a few people have 20's on the sports which have the same arches as the 1.4s just a different wheel offset.
