The size seems good since its near stock. The offset is a bit to aggressive, which may require fender rolling when you're doing a spring drop. I think you'll be fine if you have a stock suspension.

If you're gonna stretch your tires, I suggest using tyrestretch.com
You can see how it'll look like.
Going from smallest to biggest in stretch
205/45
215/45
235/45
Or you can just find the right size that would fit the rim perfectly. Stretching tires is cheaper, and in most cases, it will help with the tire not rubbing on the fender.
I think 245/45 would fit your rim the most.
