not sure what the stock offset for the 9th gen is.... if an owner would chime in with this

but that offset looks a bit high for the width you selected, which might result in rubbing on the strut

I would go with something with a lower offset closer to +40 just to play it safe.

stock offset for the rolla's are +45/
IMO keep the offset around +40 just to be safe.

and for tires, 225/45/17s are the common size tires for 7.5 width.

you have to take into the account of the extra width in the new wheels, so if you stick with the stock offset then you will run into problems with rubbing the suspension components, and this is impossible to correct other than getting a net set of wheels.

you will want to go lower to push the wheels out to the fenders, if you run into problems there, it's only a matter of rolling the rear fenders and maybe doing some pulling in extreme cases, but all in all, an easier problem to correct than installing close to stock offset wheels.
