My bf's 5'7 - he's got a 33 inch inseam. He uses 170 cranks. He definitely doesn't like 172.5 cranks. He can use 165's, but prefers 170 because he's used to mountain biking.
Too long of cranks will definitely stress your knees - Pay attention to the angles your knees make when you're pedaling - does your knee come above the horizontal, things like that.
