new to '06 3.0 SD

Hi everyone, I have found posts here extremely helpful. Just taken on an '06 3.0 sd facelift, quite high miler, and have some questions specifically for those who have experience with the SD. I know @jagr has one of these cars and has contributed here.
1. doe 17'' wheels fit this version? I've read elsewhere that maybe they don't due to bigger brakes? Also this size is not listed in the options for wheels and tyres on the door frame tag. I am looking to experiment with 60 or even 65 profile tyres to improve the ride.
2. Any feedback based on your experience with EGR delete? Is it necessary / wise ?
3. same for swirl flaps and blanks
4. how many thermostats does this version actually have and which should be replaced - I am getting low temp readings at higher speeds (as documented elsewhere on other posts here)
5. Transmission oil changes - front and rear diffs, auto trans: which ones are DIY-able?
Thanks in advance for your input.
