Pricey, but they look amazing and are among the lightest wheels on the market.

The 17x9 size is in the realm of "you might want to have suspension mods".
For starters, the car will look like a monster truck with the stock fender gaps.
Then the question is what you do in the front.
17x9 +47 with reasonably sized tires will likely rub HARD against the chassis at full lock. I don't even know if the wheel or the tire on it is going to clear the strut. You definitely won't be able to use camber bolts to add camber.
If you add a 10mm spacer to get the effective +37 offset (or just get 17x9 +37 like I did) to minimize/avoid those issues, you'll need at least -2º of camber to tuck under the fender. A friend of mine who tried my 17x9 +37 with PP struts on his gen1 car wasn't happy with the gap between the tire and the strut. I believe gen2 struts have an even larger spring perch.
If you want to keep the stock suspension, look into narrower options.
17x8 +45ish might be a better choice for now.

245/40R17. Even in that size the tire models I run (SX2, RT660) are challenging to squeeze under rear fenders.
