Anyone running a 215 on a 17/7 rim??

Am looking at some rims and wondering if anyone is running a lowered car with 215 on 17/7 wide rim? I purchased coilovers for it and plan on tucking the front tires and a slight rake and curious if these would be too wide if it would be better to stick to a 205?

I know there are variables with wheels and offsets but this is just a daily driver with an off the shelf 17 so no custom offsets or anything.

Please help a newb out. :D

I run those on a stock height 2013 Club. The clearance is ok, but not if lowered. I am not sure it would fit. The clearance is tight. I can not tell you if lowered, but I doubt it. If you need pics I can show you. I don't want you to lose $$$

Probably best to try both set-ups on yours - please attach pics if you try the 215s.
When I need tires next, I plan to change out the factory 205/45R17 (24.6 height, 7.3 tread width) to get closer clearance to the fender....either a 215/50R17 (25.7 height, 7.6 width) or a 205/50R17 (25.1 height, 7.2 width).
