Depends on your offset but probably not. Unless you're hella flush those tires stretched on those rims are gonna look odd especially with such a mild drop.

205/50-17 and 225/45-17 tires are both taller than stock AP2 sizes, might not be any less likely to rub than AP2 sizes: 215/45-17, 245/40-17.

Did you pick those sizes based on the Tire Rack website?

why are you running such oddly sized tires on those wheels?
the recommended tire size for that wheel sizing is: 215/45/17 front and 245/40/17 rear, or even 255/40/17 rear
if you wanna be safe just run the 245/40 rear and you should be fine without rubbing with a little camber

I have these in 17x8 and 17x9. I definitely recommend either 215/45 and 245/40 or 225/45 and 255/40. With only being lowered an inch you probbaly won't have to do much if any rolling of the fenders.
