Question Will these winter tires fit my car?

235 Flash 50 R 17 Blizzak LM?

My current tires are 225/45/17.

I like what I have on now as they suit the car. But I am having a hard time finding blizzaks. He said he used them for one winter and he paid 1200. I got him to go down to 500. But there is no point if these will stick out or plain just wont fit properly.

Default Thanks

Okay. I was worried. I did NOT want them sticking out. Or rubbing the rear well.
He said they were used one winter so i guess 500 is okay.

That size should be fine. It's a little oversized but nothing major. Shouldn't rub at all unless you're slammed
