There isn't much difference in diameter, less than 2 percent. More difference in section height, a tad less than 6 percent (the 205/50s are bigger). Section width depends on the tire, comparing a few different tires, I came up with the 215s having anywhere from 0 to .9 inch wider tread. So will it make a difference, yes, but not a whole lot. You should get more rubber on the road for a very slightly harsher ride. You will also get a more accurate speedometer (assuming it is set for 17 inch wheels in the first place) and be 2 percent less likely to get a speeding ticket.
