you can use the 205/40's BUT the lip of the rim will be sticking out so u gotta make sure to avoid curbs

thats the main reason i went with 215's

I have 205/45/17 on 17x7 rims
As per tire calculator, more proper tire size will have to be 215/45/17 or 225/40/17...spedo is off with in +/- 1.6
I think 205/40/17 may be little small in overall diameter and little narrow for 7.5 rim. But again it depends how it looks to you (wide/narrow), spedo will be off by -4.1%, quite large margin.
