They will fit, but you will most likely have to roll your fenders and/or run a lot of camber depending on the tire sizes.

215/45/17 on the fronts will have a little stretch and you may not need to roll with these, only run camber. The rear tires should fit fine but I think you will have to roll your fenders and run a little camber.

Well, let's look at the front first. You're going to move the rim out 15mm, plus another 19mm due to the wider rim. That puts the edge of your tire out over 1.25". And that's assuming you stretched the 215/45/17 tire onto that rim, which you really shouldn't do. A wider tire will stick out even more. You'll need rolling and lots of camber for sure, probably a pull with a wider tire.

For the rear, the new rim would be 25mm out, but could use the factory 245/40/17 tire, so about an inch out. You'd be looking at a roll, camber and bumper tab relocate.

I would take it. +40 with 8.5 width really isn't bad at all.
