anyone using 225/50/17?

I'm in the market for some new tires and I found a good deal on Craigslist for some used 225/50/17 michellens.

They are only a size up in width from the oem size but I just want to make sure I can run these with no rubbing issues?

Anyone with experience that can shed some insight would be great.
