Usual tyres for classics are 205/45/17 or 215/40/17.
most 17's will be 7x17 to accommodate them sizes with an offset of anything between ET45-55 depending on make.

215/45/17 is a bug/blobeye WRX fitment. This will likely catch on wheelarches of a classic, especially as the car is lowered. Sorry, cure would be to fit 205 tyres.
