I'm not interested in straight line racing, I want the best handling in the turns.
Which is better for that type of driving 205s or 215s?
I am putting these on 17x7s. 40mm or 42mm are the best offsets for our cars right?

Rep Power: 0 << For handling a bigger contact patch is always better215's >>
Contact patch area is a constant as long as you 1. use the same tire pressure AND 2. have the same force acting on that wheel corner. (P=F/A and therefore A=F/P)
Plus Sizing

Rep Power: 0 the actual height difference between 205's and 215'a is less than 2millimeters.. the widtch difference is 10mm.. 1cm..the width of a dime.. so the differences aren't exactly night and day. but 215's bro!!!
Closer to stock. and it's a bigger number so that's like 5hp more than 205's
