The 17X9 is aggressive and would take some work on the fenders to fit.
Maybe some negative camber as well. I have even had 17X8 45mm offset rub with the 245/40R17.

This is 8" +45 and 9" +45 with 215/45 and 245/40. Your fitment would be sunk in 3mm in front and stick out 3mm further in rear. You would need a roll for sure in the rear if you are lowered at all.

Either way can work. I was just trying to give you some perspective on how it would look compared to the pic.
