rim fitment help please?

Greetings saabheads,
Long time Saaber, new poster looking for rim fitment help.
I've found some rims I like (damn hard with all the bling out there) for my '97 9000 aero. My old summer rims have had it (17x7, not sure of offset), OEM rims I keep winter tires on. The car has not been lowered and is very stiffly sprung.
Specs for new rims - according to seller are:
4x108
17x7.5
offset +20
backspacing 5"
hub bore 67.1
I'm thinking of running a 215 45 17 tire. The seller says I'll need 3.5" from mount to fender which it appears I have. He also says these wheels have been sold to 900 owners without issues.
My previous summer set was 17x7 with a 205 45 17.
So can I run these without body mods or fender rolling or lots of rubbing? Thanks very much in advance.
