Default Stupid question about tire sizes

I bought some new rims, 17" ADR Battle Exe Silver. I know 205/40/17 will fit, but is it possible to get a little wider tire? If so what sizes could I go up to?

I think I saw these wheels on ebay. Sorry I dont know the answer to your question myself, but if you could let me know how they work out that would be great. Im afraid they might be too big and wide as it is, so im prolonging my purchase of wheels.

I'm using 17's right now with 205/40/17 tires. And they are neither too wide or big and they don't ride rough, unless you have a bent rim like I do. Let me take a picture and upload it so you can see my current setup. Maybe you have a different car.
