Default 240/50/17 tires fit 17x7.5 wheels?

i got a pair of tires from a buddy of mine, and was wondering if there would be a problem putting them on my 17inch wheels.

Yup, those tires will definitely rub like the dickens, especially on a lowered car.

Get 205/40-17 tires for your car (and yes, they can be mounted on 17x7.5 wheels).
