Fits no worries.

I have Michelin alpine sport all round

225/45/17 all 4 corners.

this will be my second winter on them. I would not advise to be driving/cornering hard though. But for day to day cruising they are fine.

Just watch out for gutters as they are easier to run into as my rims to stick out slightly wider (couple mm) that the tire, but that would depend on your rims.
