YES they will fit.....215/45/17 will also fit and is closer to stock diameter

have that exact setup, doesn't ever rub. However, you need to make sure that the offset of the rims is either +40 or +42 or they may have a chance of rubbing...

yups... basicly the offset will tell you will they rub or not... i've done months and months of researching for what size 18" wheels will fit best for our cars. The Honda Dealer has a 2002 civic on 18"x7.5" rims wrapped with 215/40/18 on +42MM offset. they said it doesnt rub at all! so for 17"s.... you cant go wrong with +42MM
