s-lites with 225/45-17 Snow tires?

I have a set of 17 S-lites sitting around and want to put snow tires on them for winter a buddy of mine has a set of 225/45-17 snow tires that he doesnt need any more and i can get them for free. Now anybody know if I will run into any issues with rubbing. I have a 2002 R53 with stock suspension and ride height. Just want to know before i go pay to mount them they will work. THANKS.

I ran 215 45 17s on my S lites with no issues, snows however may present a different issue, as the thread pattern, and roundness of the tire patch may cause it to rub, Alex from tirerack would be a good source to check with.
