I ran a 215/45/17 before and 215/40/16 now, and the ride is awesome, and no rubbing

If the price sounds good I would probablly go for it!!

195/55/15 = 23.44" overall diameter
205/40/17 = 23.456"
215/40/17 = 23.77"

The overall diamter seems pretty good, wheel and tire shops that are respectable at least try to say within .3" to .5", which seems to be within the range that you have presented. So if it is a better option for you, i would probablly do it, seems close enough!!

40 series defniately the best choice, i dont rub at all dropped 3.5 inches... didnt rub when i was down 4" either but i never really gambled with the corners that short period either... smoother ride to ride height ratio proved more comfortable just that half inch

With 215/40/17 tires, you might rub a little while turning. I have 205/40/17 right now and they are perfect, but the tire width is a little bit narrower.
