Can I fit RE070 on a 17" rim?

Hi.
I've spent ages searching the forum to this question but I can't find the definitive answer. I've got a modded 04 WRX and I want to put some 225/45/17 RE070's on my standard 7" rims for the summer. Can I do this safely???? Thanks

You have about +/- 1/2" to play with.

My pal KojaK has fitted 225/45/17/ T1R's to his WRX and finds it grips better in the wet.
