You would have to do some work to make that fit on the rear especially.

search rpf1. there is like a 100 page thread on that. most guys in there are running x8+45/x9+45. i know they are not the same but they seem pretty close to what you are looking at.

I was told that it should work with a little bit of fender rolling and with the stock suspension...????

I think you might be able to run stock AP2 sizes: 215/45-17 front, 245/40-17 rear, without rolling the fenders, just with some negative camber. If you're on stock suspension, have the alignment shop max out front and rear camber, should put you in the neighborhood of -1.3F/-2.2R. IMO that's not excessive and doesn't lead to ridiculous wear issues. I go with zero front toe and -.2* per side, -.4* total for the rear. That's what I've run for the past few years, and I get even wear.

You could run stock AP2 tire sizes or one size up. 225/45/17 F and 255/40/17 R would look a little meatier on those widths, however you're going to need to do more work to make them fit.

Either way, with a drop I imagine you're going to need to roll and relocate tabs with those offsets.
