Idea of potential problem with mounting 245/40R17 on17x9 never occurred to me, because this is one of most common combo for this car.

42 mm offset of the wheel is what I would be cautious about.
I think APEX choose 48mm offset for 2nd gen wheels for a reason.

May I ask why are you getting different set of tires?
