OK by me.

Don't let a little dyslexia get in the way.

Are you telling us what you plan to do or are you asking a question? If you are asking a question, I assume it's related to the fitment of the Enkei wheels. You need to tell us the width and offset of the wheels.

The stock wheel is 17x7, +60 offset. Stock tire size is 215/50/17. 225/45/17 and 225/50/17 are common plus sizes. So any of those would work for the winter tires for the stock wheels. You might even be able to do 205/55/17. However, not all of those sizes are ideal for winter driving performance. I'm not going to go into that.

The optimal size for the Enkei wheels for the stock tires would be 17x7 with at least a +45 offset. The higher the offset the better. And I won't guarantee that wheels with a +45 offset won't rub.
