Generally the 17" tire size is a 225/45 size. This tire is slightly wider and taller. It will probably fit but you may experience some rubbing on full lock turns.

Sweet. Thanks for your help. What the ideal offset for 17x7 wheels? Any room to go + or - a few mm?

Offset should be somewhere around 43mm. Less than that and rubbing is a distinct possiblity, if you don't use spacers.
