215/40/17 ---> 215/45/17 what should I expect?

Hey guys,

I'm going from 215/40/17 to 215/45/17 because I can't seem to find a good all season tire in the former size. Should I lower my car half an inch or so more to compensate for the taller tire? Or is there going to be no noticeable difference visually.

Thanks
