Winter tires

I have some winter tires I would like to install on my 08 TL-S but i'm not sure if they will fit or rub. The tires are 225/60R17 (oem rims)

They are for a single winter use and next year im getting a winter beater.

I tried asking in the tire fitment thread but nobody answered after a week

Anyone experienced these?

They will fit but are going to be a lot taller (nearly 2.5"). They may rub, but not sure. Also keep in mind your speedo is going to be off - reading too slow.

punch in the tire sizes and it will tell you its too tall.
