Aero with 17" tires? I don't think you can safely use chains on the 9-5 with 16" OR 17" wheels. That would leave cables. Even then not sure they can be used safely with 17" wheels; I am thinking they can't but check owners manual. At the very least you would need to ensure you get cables that meet the correct low clearance standard but I think you still need 16" wheels regardless.
Finally remember with cables or chains your limited to a recommended MAX speed of 30 MPH.
This site might have fitment requirements for the 9-5; look under the limited clearance section.
