Combination of problems I'm afraid.
8x17 wheels ET47 and 215/45/17 on a MY99 just does not fit !
Change the tyres to 215/40/17 and you might just be OK, but the 8" rim allows the tyre to "spread" a bit too much ( 215 on an 8" is not normally recommended ).
Who sold you this set up and did they claim it will fit your car ?
To be avoided I reckon.
