My number crunching and searching tells me these should probably be fine on stock suspension. Can anyone confirm or deny?

Yeah I did that already. It doesn't actually tell you if it fits it not, just how it is different from the stock setup.

If you take 15 minutes to measure your car, you can compare the current wheel-tire set up to the one you would like to run.

How do you recommend I measure clearance with the suspension compressed or clearance with the steering wheel turned full lock or both at the same time?

I ended up with a set of 215/40/17s on Enkei RPF1's. No issues.
