They will fit on the wheel, the range specified for that tire is a 9"-11" wheel. They probably won't look good (stretched) but they will fit.

Your real problem is that is a pretty short tire. The overall diameter is only 25.5 inches. If you have a stock tire size on the front, 245/45/17, they have an overall diameter of 25.7 inches. This means your front tires will be taller than the rears. This WILL create a problem for your traction control system. When the computer sees the rear wheels turning faster than the fronts it will activate traction control.
