Default balance issue
i have very minor steering wheel vibration. Can it be due to the 17in tires? Does anybody who has 17in tires have very small vibration in the steering wheel?

Possibly an alignment issue.

First thing I would do is spiin balance the front wheels. I wouldn't think the 17" size has anything to do with it.

what might be possible problems that can cause steering vibration and humming? Other than the car being out of balance?

you could need a new tie rod or steering damper. Check tire pressure first, bends in wheels and then get an alignment
