Honda Accord 205/50 17 help

I have a honda 2000 LX 4 cyc I currently have the stock 15 inch hubcaps on it im looking to upgrade to 17 alloys tire 205/50 17 inch tires. here are the tires im looking to purchase Kumho ECSTA ASX as I read I hear alot of good things for the price. I have a few questions does anyone no if these tires are any good and worth the money? Will 17 inch alloy rims effect the ride in anyway. Will the size effect the performance of the car or do any damage??? Sorry for being so slow with this I dont no much when it comes to rims all help is appreciated thanks in advance.

I have a 99 Accord LX Sedan with 17" 205/50/17 Kumho Ecsta Supra 712 tires. Compared to the stock michelins, they are stiffer, but when i compare them to my Winter tires (Toyo GO2+), they are about the same in ride comfort. I think that anything over th 17" will be harsher on the ride quality.

As for the ASX, i think they are meant to last longer and be more comfortable than the 712's.
