I run a 245-45-17 tire in the rear of my car. I have 5x130 drums, a 1" spacer, 1 1/4" wider fiberglass fenders.

I would not run a 205-40-17 tire in the rear because that is way below the diameter tire that the transmission is geared for (165-15). Look for a rear tire close to that diameter for best results. Search the web for a tire diameter calculator to help you.
