they will fit on the car, if its the same bolt pattern..but you will deffinatly get rubbing issues..I have 17x8 on my wagon w/coilovers..ran as much camber as i could (-2ish all around)..rolled the fenders..and still "rub"..it will also kill your inner fender liners in the front, from rubbing while turning and the rear will rub ALL THE TIME, specially with cargo in the back..but thats my experience..but if you dont mind that..it will work..

Wrong offset ~ YES! Rubbage...

With 48mm offset and a rear fender roll, you would probably be fine. A customer of mine is rocking Silver STI/BBS with 225's and a roll on his '06 and he gets ZERO rubbage.
