Just a heads up, I originally ordered Motegi MR12s 17x7.5 and put Falken Azenis 225/45/17 and they rubbed just a little. Your size is a little smaller and a tad narrower, so you should be ok. Good choice in tires, btw. And for those who want the MR7 instead of the MR12 I should let you know the MR7 is a much heavier rim. The MR12 isn't anything special, but it's also not a lead weight like a lot of bling rims out there.
