205/55/15 or 225/50/15 will fit without modification. And those R8s should need nothing other than the stock bolts to get them on.

Hey Jay, I have a set of 17x8 ATS DTC wheels, the offest is ET20.
I ordered some Bridgestone RE11's in 205/45/17, but is there a more appropriate size? I'm scared there isn't enough meat on them...I've heard the RE11's are usually wider than normal though...

That size is fine, especially with how good those tires are. There will be a slight stretch on the sidewall probably, but nothing to worry about.

15mm spacers all around, 205/50, 215/45, and 225/45 tires will all work.

You could run a 10 with the right offsets and tire size's, its been done. I'm not sure about wider though.

You could run 15mm all around with room to spare. So, yes.
