Default Changing tyre size, make any difference ?

Hello,

Currently I have standard alloys on a 52 plate WRX. Tyres are a 215/45/17.

I am looking to replace the alloys have seen some but the come with 205/40/17 tyres will this actually make any difference.

Apologies if this is a really stupid question.

Thanks

Steve
