Have you looked at the Tire Rack website? If not, you should. I figure you will get what your looking for there, rather than waiting from another member to post. They do superimpose the wheel over your car, but only in side view.
Good Luck.

CHECK OUT MY GALLERY!!!

I just took some pictures. Check out my gallery. The car is Sparkling Silver, but it's close?!? I am running 17 inchers with 215/17/45's on in the GY F1 GS-D3. There is no rubbing whatsoever. I removed the back seats though, however I'm carrying a full-size spare in the back. The only complaint is that the wheels poke out ever so slightly from the sides. It's a matter of a couple of mm's and I think it looks more than alright, but when it's wet it tends to spray some water on the lower sides of the car. It's worth the trade-off for the better handling and looks to me though.
