What rims will be best for me?

I have a 1999 maxima SE I want to change the tires and rims I currently have (215/55/16)to some 17 inch rims. I was over at wheelmax.com and they have good price on wheels and tires combo. The tires that they will provide with the wheel is called Kumho tires are they any good? They will be 205/40/17 This means that the tires will be a bit narrow. IS that fine to go from 215 tires to 205? or should I just stick with the size tire I currently have which is 215? Has anyone order from Wheelmax.com? Do you know any other website that sells rims and tires together? Cause it is much easier to purchase and they usally sell them a a fair price. I do not want to buy the tires seperate from the rims cause it costs too much. Thanks

yes, tire rack is the spot.
If your going to get 17", make sure they are 7.5"-8" wide and run 325/45 17. IMO

Can you run that size wheel/tire combo with a 1.5"-2" drop?
