Posted this on this forum in another section so I'm sorry for that but I'm hoping for a quick response. Just curious if I can fit 215/55R17 snow tires on my car I found a good deal on some used ones.

NOPE.

From this website, it appears to be just a bit too tall.

The 17's that VW put on the 2014 Jetta were 225/45/17 (25" high 8.9" wide with a sidewall of 4.0")
The 215/55/17 is 26.3" high, 8.7" wide, sidewall: 4.7" The difference in the sidewall height and the overall height will cause the tire to rub on the fender as you turn, and/or on the wheel arch as well.
