If you have 4 lugs on your wheels then yes.

bigger wheels wont really fill the gap. do some math. the 205/45-17s are actually smaller in overall diameter.

205-45/17 will fit all day with no issues. I ran 225-45-17s on my base for years.

Best way to close the wheel gap is to lower the car.

not much but yes according to that calculator. Lower the car better handling and looks way better.

Cheapest is going to be springs, but lowering springs are know to blow out the base models FE1 struts.

Best is debatable based on how you want to use the car. But its between Powell Springs with FE5/LNF struts or konis struts, and coilovers.

Easiest is coilovers, since you don't have to take the front struts apart and swap spings.

easiest? a cheap set of coilovers
