215/50/17 ? ? opinions

hey there i was wondering if the dunlop fm 901 sports would look good on the stock wheels. i have a set of 215/50/17 and i dont know wether it would make my car look off. the car is rollin on ksport kontrols pretty much slammed. also carbon fiber fenders are going on the car. would theese tires work well if i lift the car up a lil bit ? or should i just buy a set of 40 series ? i was thincking rt 615s. does anyone have pics of there car with 50 series ?

215/50/17 is the stock size for 17"s on the Toyota Matrix. I had a set of stock Matrix wheels and tires on my car once. The tires are about half an inch taller overall and the ride is much softer and comfortable. It does fill up the wheel well, but its not that noticable. I'm lowered on Tein coilovers.
