need new tires

have 206 s with 17" s-lites. I would like to replace run flates with all seasons and would like to use 217/45-17 tires. Will these work or will they have a rubbing problem.

do you mean 205's?
Do you mean 215/45/17's?

If stock height, im sure you'll be okay. even if lowered, if a/s tires,
you should be okay as the shoulders are not as bold as performance
tires.
