the armoured car looks like a W12 from the exhausts on it so I would suspect that the wheels shown are bigger than 17 inch as the brakes are likely to be the 394mm s8/w12 discs and calipers which are pretty damn big!
here is a picture when I upgraded my D2 to give you an idea of comparison!

Hmmm... Not what I thought, nor what Europarts say. There are 2 sizes for the 4.2 TDI. 360mm and 385mm. I am guessing the SWB is 360mm and the LWB and Armored is 385mm.
http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/Au...1d93235&000027 http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/Au...c89aea1&000027 I'm not sure if you'd get a 17" rim over either, but I guess if you have a SWB 4.2 TDI with the 360mm fronts, you MAY just get a 17" on but I doubt it. The caliper is massive. The sizes you mention M-A8 are probably the much smaller discs found on the 3.0 V6.

Actually, I think I am wrong and 17" rims may well fit a car with 360mm brakes.
 Ross-tech coding on the brakes section states: 3 = FNRG-60 16" (PR-1LG) 5 = 2FNR 42 AL 17" (PR-1LL/1LM) 6 = 2FNR 42 AL 18" (PR-1LJ/1LK) 7 = Brembo M6 AL 19" (PR-1LW) I think the LL/LM are are the 360mm listed as 17" rims and LJ/LK are the 385mm listed as 18" rims with the LJ being the W12 and the LK being the S8 I think. The LW is the ceramic setup with the fixed calipers at 19" rims. I think the LL and LM are the 4.2 V8 FSI and 4.2 V8 TDI and the LG must be the 3 litres with the smaller discs. I guess the only way to find out for sure is to measure and try some on.
