Does anyone have 17" Aero 3 spoke rims on a 9-3 SE?

I just ordered a set of 17" Aero 3 spoke rims (klingon rims). Now I am concerned about rubbing. They are 17X7 with a 49mm offset and I am going to go with 215/45/17. The standard SE rim 16X6.5 have a 35 offset (i think??) with 205/50/16. Per my calculation, this new fitment will bring the tire about 19mm (14mm change in offset plus 5mm change in tire width) closer to the strut. Does anyone have this setup on a new 9-3 SE or a similiar set up(gary fisher or any other 17" rim with a 49mm offset)?
Any thoughts or comment would be great
Brian
