If you could get him to sell the wheels only, then I'd be more interested, because the offset is do-able (same as evo wheels, just a 7.5 instead of 8). But, with that tire package, you arent going to have too much of a contact surface between the tire and road, and the sidewall is pretty small, so your wheel gap is going to increase. Your call though..

 This is what google is for. You need to know this kinda stuff before asking about wheels. btw stock offset is +46mm
Finding this took 4 seconds, and has nice illustrations for the nearly illiterate

Hell no they wont fit. First, is the bolt pattern even the same? Next, wtf is the offset?
a 255/45/18 is much wider that your 215/45/17, and there is more sidewall, on a bigger wheel.
97 4g63, dont have this guy waste his money because you gave him false info
No way is a 255 gonna tuck, not on an 18, not on a 17...
and because they wont tuck, youll have to ride at near stock ride height, if the wheels would even fit in the first place, with a hell of stiff spring, and shocks that are compatible.
THEY WILL NOT FIT
Damn it
