Are your tires still good? If they are, I say put the correct size tires you have on there.

Put the stock tires on the new wheels or take the opportunity to get some better ones. If you use the 205/40 your speedo/odo are going to be off a decent amount and who knows what will happen with your mpg.

225/45R17 is the biggest safe size on a 17x7.

You can run staggered tires but it's pointless other than for look especially with the wider on the rear since you have a FWD car.

You'd need a 205/50 though, 205/40 is way too short.
