They will fit- IF they have the proper offset. 35-40 mm should be ok. Keep in mind that the tire size and the amount that the sidewall bows out affect overall fit.

Ya you shouldn't have much problem really as long as the offset is the correct one or close. I mean you can run 225s on 7.5 and I run 225/50 on my stock 7" rims. So the tire WILL fit, especially if you run a lower profile tire.

i have 17x7,5 front/rear
215/45/17 front
225/45/17 rear

going longer studs, 5-7 mm spacers in front to be able run 225's in front (without spacers is sidewall of tire sometimes touching shock) and 235's will go to rear
