Would the wheels fit but just too much tucked under the fender well?
Thanks,

It should fit without any clearance problems. You could always run spacers as well.

The OE 17X7 wheels have et 48, so the wheels you're considering would move the wheels just 2 mm inboard compared to OE wheels. That little should make very little difference in anything (performance, visual, etc.), but, as Creeve noted, you can move them back out as much as you want with spacers.
