Default VOLK TE37 Fitment help

Looking at buying Volk te37s for my ap1 but not entirely sure if they will fit or not.
Front rims 17x7.5 +30
Rear rims 17x8.5 +40
Front tires 215-45
Rears tires 245-40
All stock suspension setup.
Will these fit?

They are going to look odd on stock suspension. You may be able to get away without a fender roll due to the ride height but I would probably do one to be on the safe side and if you lower it you will absolutely need a roll. Personally I would look for a different set with higher offsets. The fronts are the more concerning fitment here. The new wheel pokes out quite a bit more than OEM. Overall I think you could do better.

Online Wheel and Tyre Fitment Calculator. Offset, Tyre Stretch and Speedo Error | Will They Fit

Fronts
Compared to your existing wheel, this new wheel will have an inner rim which is 18.7mm further away from the suspension strut. The outer rim will poke out 31.4mm more than before.

Rears
Compared to your existing wheel, this new wheel will have an inner rim which is 25mm further away from the suspension strut. The outer rim will poke out 25mm more than before.

You are going to need more negative camber and probably a fender lip roll. The offsets are pulling the wheel out of the wheel well. The tires sizes are the best for the wheel sizes. If I can help with the tires let me know.

I just want to say thank you to Magna Spawn for all the excellent fitment info. It has been a huge help to me for sure.

The rear is comparable to the 17x9 +45 RPF1 everyone runs. Roll in the rear, fender trimming, tab relocation.

The front is less aggressive than a 17x9 +45. You'll need a roll / tab cut.

All depends on how low you are. I agree that this setup will probably look weird.

i'd like to piggy back on this thread:
stock ap1
would like to go with work emotion 11r
fronts 17x7 +53 215 tire, rear 17x8 +47 245 tire

calculator says
front - 4.3mm closer to the suspension strut. The outer rim will poke out 8.3mm more than before
rear - 11.7mm further away from the suspension strut. The outer rim will poke out 24.4mm more than before
