Does it count that I have wanted to? 
The issue I think you will run into on the front is that they don't offer enough positive offset. I run a 245/45R17 on a 17x8 +30mm wheel with a slip on rotor which is effectively a 5mm or 6mm spacer. Works great for me.
With a 17x7 +16mm wheel, you are going to be limited to a 225 series tire as anything wider doesn't look to fit the wheel width. But a 225/50R17 looks to be pretty close to my setup.
You can play with the sizes here if you want - Wheel Offset Calculator

If you wanted to run a wider tire, the 17x9 option might work. You could put a 245/45 tire on it and end up about where mine run, and the offset should keep the wheel off the outer tie rod end. But their published backspacing doesn't makes sense to me, should be a little over 7" for that wheel so I would reach out and verify with them.
