205/40/17

Tire Diameter: 23.5"
Section Width: 8.1"
Sidewall Height: 3.2"

Minimum Rim Width: 7"
Maximum Rim Width: 8"

205/50/17

Tire Diameter: 25.1"
Section Width: 8.1"
Sidewall Height: 4"

Minimum Rim Width: 5.5"
Maximum Rim Width: 7.5"

A 205/40/17 is going to give you more fender clearance if you are lowered. THe 205/50/17 is going to be closer to stock height.
