You will need 7.5" rims to fit those tyres. The 7.0" rims are at their absolute limit on 215 tyres. The mk1 17" rims are 7.0" and the mk2 rims are 7.5".

In order to maintain speedo accuracy you will need to reduce the tyre profile - this is a really good calculator for tyre sizes. You need to keep within around 3% of original tyre rolling circumferance.
