Fit check 17x7.5 215x45 tire

I have a set of Rota Circuit 10's from my Galant Vr4. They are 17x7.5 with a 45 offset. The tires are 215x45x17. Just check to see if they will fit on a 2003 Evo 8 with stock Brembo's

TIA!
Brent

Or I could go with spacers correct? Figured the offset was too high for the wheel but if I space it out about 10mm I should be good correct? Thing is I already had these wheels from my other car so I would love to save some coin and run what I have.

+1 on offset being a bit too large. Don't deal in spacers so not sure what advise to give there. 215's will fit the 7.5" wheel fine.

Thank you Neal. The tires are already mounted on the wheels they fit fine. I figured the offset was too high. I am looking at some 10mm spacers. Can I get away with stock studs on a 10mm spacer?

If it uses same lug size, 12X1.5, the minimum number of turns of hardware engagement you'll need is 6.5. Probably wont know that until you get the spacers on and try the first set of lugs.
