Default Style 44's?

Hi guys,

Ive got a set of style 44 wheels laying around, 17*8 et47. I can't seem to find anyone who is running these? My question is this, with a 225/45R17 tire, will they foul anywhere? My suspension is all stock, factory Msport suspension (car isn't an Mtech however). I currently have style 27's, 15*7 et47. The part I'm worried about is the side of th rim/tire contacting the strut, doesn't seem like theres much room. As anyone got any experience with running style 44's, or any input? If they don't fit I am willing to buy a small spacer, say 10mm?

I ran them on my ti for a while. They work fine without spacers but would look better with 12mm spacers. I suggest doing a wheel stud conversion so you can run with or without spacers using the same lugs.
