Just a note, according to my local Discount Tire, I was told that the 215/50/17 was the same O.D. as the factory wheel and tire setup. I was ridin on 205/40/17's sittin on bumpstops when the pregnant wife said the ride was too rough. I raised it about 2" and put the 215/50's on it. Filled the fender wells nicely and the ride was "cadillac". I didn't have any rubbing issues or anything like that. I also had 4x4 fenders on the front tho. But to answer your question, no the 205/50's shouldn't cause you any problems. I might have used that size back then (8 yrs ago) but my rims were 17x8 and the 205's would have been kinda thin. I like the flush look for the tires, not one to have "rounded" tires.
