both front and rear speakers are 6".. depending on brand you can get 6.5" speakers in though.
wheels depends on ur insurance, i'd ring them and find out. 17's should be an issue, 18's depends on them. some don't care, some do.

All speakers will fit. Off memory EF have Pioneer speakers. Quality components (or splits) in the front and some 3 ways in the rear.
What state are you in?? You will have to check with your insurer and your traffic authority. In Vic you can go as big as you like as long as you keep withing 10% rolling diameter. Insurance will have their terms too, so call them and ask.

Rule of thumb, width no wider than 1" wider than the biggest width available from factory.
You can have 21's, provided your tyres are the correct type and the width is only 1" wider than the biggest wheel available for that model.
