Default Tyre Profile Question - need urgent reply please

ive been offered a set of tyres at a good price

only snag:

My car is a classic sti on 17's, the tyres i've been offered are 215/45/17

Now I know the required tyre profile is 215/40/17 (which is what i currently have)

What effects would i see by fitting 215/45/17 ?

Help appreciated

chris

Can't be too bad, as I think this is the profile Prodrive recommend. Check it out, though as I could be wrong.
