Re: 17 inch wheels?
You have not lowered your PT, right? If not then you should be okay. I tried to fit 225/55 on mine, were too big, I could fit 225/45 but too stiff, even though I only got 5mm more height with a 50. I ended up 215/50, so I'd be willing to bet those would fit fine on your car. Are you going to a commercial tire dealer? The should warrant their installs, if they put them on and they don't fit they should fix it...
I think it'll work, might be a bit close with the 55 height, but you should be okay if you've not lowered your PT. Now here's the thing, I've got an '06 GT, and my wheels were not 17x7, they were 17x6, and you wouldn't want a 225 wide tire on a 6" wide wheel, it'll roll and you'll not get a stable contact patch. If you've got a 7" wide wheel, 225 is about the widest you should go before you start rounding the tire and affecting the contact patch.
