Default Tire size for 16x7 +42 / 16x8 +46

Hi, I want to know what size tire i can put on these wheels
Here are the specs
16x7 +42
16x8 +46

I want to put 215 in the front and 245 in the back.

would it be possible with these wheels?
i'm currently lowered on coilovers and i dont want the tires to rub.

according to this program, the aftermarket wheels will extend out 13mm more than OEM AP2 (front and rear)

thanks and let me know.

Check out the wheel fitment guide

Your rear wheel and tire will be pushed out 19mm as the oem is +65 and you want to run the same size tire. That offset calculater is a good tool but it does not account for the actual width of the tire. But there is more room to work with in the rear than the front. Your rear will be ok but the front with a 215 and lowered will rub. 205 would be better and closer to stock stagger as the OEM RE50 is not as wide as most 215.
