Jack your maths seem right my friend, however to get to within a millimetre of your 205/40/17 = 595.80mm (which is the same as my steel spare and my standard titanium wheel / tyre combo), you could consider :-

195/55/15 = 595.5mm

165/65/15 = 595.5mm

215/50/15 = 596.0mm

185/65/14 = 596.1mm

165/50/17 = 596.8mm

205/40/17 = 595.8mm
