No good mate, the 45 is a percentage of the width so 215 is not wide enough for 45 to be high enough on the sidewall.

I had 225 40 18 on mine when i bought it and not only did the speedo tell lies i cracked 2 alloys one of them twice, since changing them for 245 45 18 i have had no cracks. Same roads too.

Theer is a tyre size calc tool posted here tha'll give you how far out they'll be.
