Is anyone running this tire size? If so, pics please. I am currently running 205/50/R17 and wonder how the sidewall would look a bit larger.

205/55R17 is about 0.8" taller than stock SS size, and will result in 3% error on your speedometer (you'll be going 3% faster than indicated). The difference in sidewall height will be less than 1/2" over stock, so I'm not sure if that will be enough to make a difference or not.
