My summer tires as of this past year are 225/45/17 on five-twin-spoke Aero wheels from a 9-3SS. They fit fine on my '01 base model which came stock with 15" wheels and has no suspension mods. I get some very light rubbing at full lock when reversing, though it looks like the inner edges of my mud flaps are loose - not sure whether this is the cause or result of the rubbing, but it doesn't worry me much.
I liked the crisper road feel with the 17s and didn't find the ride uncomfortable despite our pothole-laden northeast PA roads. Noisier, yes, but not unpleasant. I did notice how much cushier it felt on the same roads when I switched back to the 15s for winter, and I have to admit it's nice not having my tires follow every single ridge in the road!
...though I hear that might be helped by steering/suspension upgrades. Hmm, maybe next year. :)
