Default Diamond cut rs7 tyre sizes?

Currently running 205/40/17 but they look tiny, was looking at changing them to 215/40/17 or 205/45/17.

anyone running bigger tyres? Pics if any please.

Thanks in advance.

Did they rub at all? Looks like they fill the arch more. Better to drive on?

They drive well yes and never rub but be aware that the wheels are weak and with the 40mm tyre wall they can burst easily. I had 2 blowouts....1 at 90mph!! Scary enough to be honest. Had to get the wheel straightened after that and a new tyre
