45+ offset and 205/40 17 will be fine.

For the final time:

If you have a 7" width wheel, diameter does not matter, and it has a +42 mm offset, minimum, you will need to run a 205/45/17.
The 205/40/17 is too short of a tire and will result in additional mileage on the odometer.

If it's 7" and has a +44 or +45 and higher, you can run the ideal tire size of 215/40/17.

Now if you have a 7.5" wheel, you can run a 215/40 if it is a +48 or higher. If not, then you'll need to use a 205/45.


That's all folks.

Rishie

happy New year
