there is a lot more than 5mm difference, the profile is a percentage of the width, so instead of the tyre wall being 82mm, as it was with the 205/40/17, the wall will now be 92.25mm, making the whole wheel and tyre 20.5mm, or 2.5cm larger in diameter than it was. Definitely more likely to scrub, and speedo will be out
