you will need 205/40/17 tyres for 17"s

No problems with your french
I know in the origin is 205 but i WANT TO INSTALL 215/40/ZR17, so I think I will have to work on the suspension..

so I think I will have to work on the suspension.

I think most people here would argue that any major altering of the suspension is not a good idea.

You could get away with 215's on the back. On the front, they will probably destroy the wheel arch liners. Mine have already rubbed holes in them and they are only 205's. I think these liners are discontinued so be careful with them.

Of course you could stiffen up the suspension, but 17's make for a harsh ride before you start down that road. I wouldn't recommend it.
