Since I am thinking also using 17x7 205/40/17 but with Offset 40, do you think this is a good set up if I plan to lower my car around 1.6"?
Konig Kolors and on TRD springs, so only about a 1.2" drop. I think you will be fine with the setup you have suggested above.

Cheers

Keep in mind that just focusing on the tire size is missing the point. The width of the rim and the offset is just as important. Just because someone is running 205's without problems - it doesn't mean it will work for you. If someone using 205's are running a narrower rim with a greater offset, it is the complete combination that's making it work, not just the tire width.

Check out the pics in the Bayou Blue thread.

Idjit makes a very good point. Every single aspect of the spring, wheel and tire combo makes a difference.

Cheers!

It is sounding like there is a general consensus that 205/40/17 with a +40mm offset is working just fine. Even people with a +42mm offset are ok.
