i'd stick with 215/45's would be best. did you need all 4 tires or just two, or just one?

You should try a 205-45-17.
You'll still get the side wall profile but have a little less width so you shouldn't have any rubbing issues.

What Eibach springs are you using to get rubbage, Sportlines? Loose the wheel spacers and everything will be fine. 215-45's and you will be flush.
