They are only 1-2 mm off. Should'nt be an issue.
Mind you, the amount of drop, tire size, and camber degree should be taken into account.

1.2 inch drop. 215/45/17fr and -1.25 camber on each wheel. I run a little over -2 in the back but those are not an issue.

I am going to go on a limb and say that you should have no problem.
You should get a second (or third) opinion just to be safe.

Looks good, 215 is best for front but some 225s might fit too. 255 rear obviously

you should be able to run 225's in the front with no probs I think. If you go wider in the back then you cn always go something like 265 or 275/ 35's. should work aswell.

225's up front with a signifigant drop will rub on hard corners and dips. 215's in the front no problems....... unless you are running 255 or 265's in the rear which will result in understeer at high speed cornering.

215/255 is the same relationship as 205/245

why would that understeer more than stock?
