Yes they will fit. Best to keep the rolling diameter the same, which for the base model means using 235/45 17 tires. Rim width for these should be 7 1/2 inch to about 8 1/2 inch (check with tire rack). This is one size larger than the Aero which uses 225/45 17 tires, which do fit on the stock 7 inch wide Aero rims. The 235s will have little affect on milage and speedometer readings. If you go with 225s, your milage will suffer by a minor amount, you speedometer will read about 1.5 percent high and your acceleration will be about the same percentage better. I believe the speedometer can be corrected with a Tech II.
