Yes, I'm pretty sure that is the stock FC tire size. I have 215 on my car no problem

The inside of the tire will be very close to the stock springs with those wheels, but you should be ok with 205 width tires. Because they are wider and have more offset than stock wheels.

Worst case, you need a 5mm slip-on spacer for the two front wheels.

A little late, but...

I had 17x7.5" +45 rims on my car for a long time, and the fronts were fine with 215 width tires and stock springs. They were VERY close to the springs, but never touched. The rears sat in pretty far on their own, but looked good with some 25mm spacers.

This is my current setup except 225's. On the stock suspension, the fronts didn't quite fit due to the negative camber when the suspension is unloaded. I used a 5mm spacer and it fit just fine.

They actually fit with stock springs because the tire sat in between spring coils. Once I switched to eibach springs, the more dense coils interfered. Just saying this is about the limit on how far inward the wheel can reach before getting interference.
