Do you have any idea
the harm to handling and potential for damage "large" wheels occasion?
The shorter the crush space between the road and the rim, the more probable the next pothole or speed bump will damage the tire and rim.
The suspension is designed with a certain amount of compliance from the tire presupposed. Changing from a 17 to a 10 or 20 changes the characteristics of the tire.
Likewise, the suspension is designed with a certain amount of stagger (difference between the front and rear tire widths) to maximize the safe handling characteristics. The amount of grip supplied by the front and rear tires is critical to not spinning the car in adverse conditions. Change those parameters and you risk many of the aspects designed into the porsche cars.
Of course, if you want the "ricer" look or the "pimp my ride" look, ignore the above cautions.
