Question about what really fits 06 3i

Mazda 3 I
Ok, I have these Konig Imagine wheels on my 06 3i. They are paired with these Falken ZIEX ZE-512 tires. The size is 215/45R17. I have no idea what the offset is.

The reason that I ask, is that of all the online sites I go to, I can not pair these wheels at this size/aspect ratio with this car.
Ever since I have had this combo I have not been happy. I have spent almost 1500 bucks (mostly getting a hub replaced at a Mazda dealer) in vain trying to get the aligment to "stick" & just get rid of the general wandering, & uneasiness that my car has now.

Is 215/45/17 a valid size/aspect ratio for my car. Does anybody else have this size?

I bought this combo because I got hit with a big piece of metal that careened off of a FedEx truck & lifted the whole passenger side of my car off the ground at about 80. Both OEM wheels on that side were bent & instead of spending approx 1200 for just two Madza wheels alone, I got this aftermarket tire/wheel package.

Thats a very common size for ppl to run. Alot of guys run those on stock wheels too. Id bet something is still messed up from hitting the metal... 512s get good reviews as well...
