is 215/50r17 too big?

I'm currently running 215/45r17's on my lowered camry. I was debating switching to 215/50r17's to fill the wheelwell in better but I'm not sure if ill have clearance issues. im running a 1.8" drop. im due for new tires soon anyway.

Enter both tire sizes information in this website calculator and it will tell you how much taller the tires will be. I haven't entered in the info myself but I doubt it will be so drastic a change that they wouldn't fit. Personally, I'd say don't bother changing the size just to get rid of wheel gap. It will make your speedometer slow. BUT, on the plus side, will increase your top speed a tad lol.
