That offset on an 8" rim at the front, especially with 215 tyres will not fit, you would need spacers.

The rear will need to be 245-35-17 profile tyres to be the very close to
the oe rolling radius size,225-35-17 front or 215-40-17.
Think the off set is 35 and 38 for 17"
Know i have 17/18" which are 38
& 42 offset but 8"&9" wide rims with 5mm. spacers to clear front shocks with turning.(Enkei rs evolutions)245-35-18&225-35-17 combination Falken grb 451 tyres and speedo is very acurate.
