If you are asking about 225/45x17 then I can be of help. On an 8" ET35 rim you will need to roll the rear arches... at the front the same will apply but the arch shields and bumper will need chopping and other than that it will look hideous

45's are too big really, my mate was running 245/45/17's on the rear of his (due to them being on a set of wheel he bought) and they rubbed like a twat, had they of been a 45 then they would have been ripped to bits!

i had 215/45/17 on my car and they rubbed the front and rear 
the wheels were 7.5x17 but i think the offset was et30 or there around
it was mainly on the front and the back lip by the rear bumper
so had the fronts rolled and just roled the back bit where they were catching
225 may go on if you roll the arches fully
