also close, 17x9+15, no spacer, running a 215/40
So running a 215/45 will actually increase the circumference by roughly 17mm's, so if your hitting the upper part of the wheel well/inner fender rail, that may not help your situation.
Running a 215/40 will decrease the circumference by roughly 50mm, and give you even a bit more sidewall clearance for the fender if rolling/pulling is not your game.
