Check Tire Rack or Discount Tire. Look at the tire specs as it tells you the answer.

215/45's will be on the narrow side but they will work. That's about as narrow as you can get with that aspect ratio. 215/40's might not have enough side wall to stretch out much.

Check the specs on the tires you choose. Dimensions change from tire brand to brand and even tire model to model from the same manufacturer. I had 225/50/16 Yokohama AVS-i and A-032R side by side. The A-032R were about 3/4" narrower. Check the specs always if you think there might be an issue with fitment.
