215/45-17 are close to 1" shorter than stock and will not look good.
Also need the wheel widths to get an idea for fitment.

7" +42 should be alright. But I still wouldn't go with 215/45 tires. 215/50 would be a better choice.

What the shorter tire will do is throw off your speedometer by 4%. Not only will it indicate that your're going faster than your actual speed, you'll also be racking up more miles than you're actually driving.

The choice is yours....choose wisely.

Yeah... BSA rims are mid grade. My friend had some of the ones listed above and they began to chip. Nice wheels though.
