Yes they will fit, with minimal protection, and in my opinion since a friend had that size once, the traction SUCKED also.. 215/40/17 is the LOWEST to get on a 17 inch rim IMO.

it'll depend on how wide your wheels are. the 40 aspect ratio will be no problem as you'll just have less tire protecting the rim. you probably shouldn't stretch a 205 wide tire on anything wider than a 6.5" wide wheel though..i doubt it'll fit a 7" wide wheel and definitely not a 7.5"
