Question Will these be ok!!!

Hello Guys wonder if you can help.

Have standard wheels at the moment on my98 uk. Tyre size 205/50/16.

Have just ordered a set of 17" wheels but been told they come with 215/40/17.

Should they not be 205/40/17 or am I wrong!!! I thought the overall size should be the same due to messing up gearing and speedo etc.

Cheers Guys !

You can run either of the following on 17's

205/45/17 or 215/40/17 so either will be ok
