If you wanted to run 17 inch tires, you would need to swap over to new gen 17 inch wheels. There is a thread about how and what all you would need.

As for top speed and acceleration, that would depend on tire width and aspect ratio. A 17 inch 140/60-17 vs the stock 120/80-16 are near identical sizes. So if you stick to a tire the same size, all should be the same. Just a wider flatter tire.
