Depends on the offset. You'll need to figure out your stock offset (which I believe is +45 on the '07 model..?) and then calculate the differences between that offset and the 9.75's. Does that makes sense? You just need to make sure the tire/wheel will clear the strut and lower strut cup.

eekay's kinda right but you guy's left one verry important piece of info out n that is aspect ratio. How high is the side wall? A 9.75 tire is realy only a 245 but you gotta make sure the sidewall isn't more than 35 or 40% or it will definately rub. You're definately cutting it close though. I'm not sure I'd sacrifice my car's suspension syst n ride quality just for looks. Personaly (n I know opinions r like assholes) I think 225/45 r17's look quite nice. The handeling is much better too

I agree with this guy^^ that even if they fit, they might compromise ride quality to some extent, but if they dont rub the suspension, you might still have to roll out the fenders a little bit so your not rubbing on anything during turns/ bumps in the road... Ive seen a fozzy guy on a different forums rockin 18x9.5's if I remember correctly, and some slight fender modification was needed
