Upgrading from OEM 15" to RS' OEM 17" Wheels

[alunta]

Hello Everyone!

I recently purchased a 2017 Sonic LS Sedan for a daily driver, so I can finally stop racking up miles on my Quadrifoglio. I am wanting to upgrade the 15" wheels on the Sonic to the 17" from the RS. I actually already purchased the 17x6.5" wheels. I am curious what tire size to run, would 195/40R17 be appropriate, or should i run the size the RS runs 205/50R17? Has anyone upgraded? Will this work? Is there anything I should look out for or plan for? Any issues?

Run the stock tire size from the rs. It won't mess with the speedometer.

I just bought 215/50R17 tires for my son's Sonic RS. They fit with no clearance issues even with spacers and lowering springs. Very small difference in diameter that won't impact the speedo much. They feel great driving the car also.
