Default 17" swap question

Alright, I've got another question. I picked up some wheels today, 17x7 +60 offset from a Mazda 6, I think 2004 or 2005 not sure. My car is a 2010 base 3i with the 16" steelies 205/55/16. From what I have been reading it seems most people run 225/40/17, is that correct? I test fitted the rim, in the picture below and there isn't a lot of clearance between the rim & strut, is this going to require a spacer? Most of the info I've found concerning fitment is for the first gen 3, how similar are the two gen's as far as this goes?

I don't think these wheels came with TPMS sensors, does anyone know if they can be retrofitted on?
