Tyre advise: 205 45 17 on front and 205 50 17 on rears

Hi All,
I was given a really good deal on a set of 4 new tyres however they the two tyres on the rear are a 205 50 17. Wondering what effects this would have if any (potentially handling) and if this is ok to run. Reason I ask is because I have always ran 215 40 17 all round till the last change due to a blow out and therefore changed the fronts back to stock 205 45 17 but the handling was pants with the 215s on the back.

205 50 will look silly, it'll look like a dragster! :lol:

it actually doesn't look that bad. Well considering i had 215 40 on before the wheel arch looked empty... It looks a little filled out now! LOL. Not concerned too much about looks more about if theres any handling issues I need to worry about.
