Just so it's clear, a 205/40x17 tire is 23.45" in diameter and a 205/60x15 is 24.68" in diameter so the larger the wheel does not mean the tire is larger. Only the tire size matters. And offset:
And you have to consider where the tire is located in reference to the hub face. Move it too far in or out and chances of getting interference is increased just as using a bigger tire. Hence offset matters too.
