Will 215/55/17 winter tyre fit 17x8 style 44 wheel?

Hey, fellas

Could you tell me if a Vredestein Wintrac Extreme 215/55/17 98 V woulld fit a OEM style 44 17x8 rim? I am hunting for winter tyres and found me these Vredesteins really cheap. But the tyres are miles away from me so I have to buy them without trying them on.

Any help would be appreciated.

K.T.

I m thinking that it will not be wide enough for that rim. It barely fits a 17x7.5.

That 215/55 will read 5.4% too slow. I would pass.
