the srt4s have different style struts..thats why the larger tire fits, unlike the regular neons...the 205 50's are gonna look like rubberbands around the rims...if you want a little more meat, then get 215/40's.......
i have 205/40's on srt4 rims on my first gen, if i coulda got 215's i woulda but since the srt rims are kinda narrow, they woulda caused some issues....here is some 205 40's on srt rims...they are alot smaller then the 205/50's

If you use stock struts the 50 series tire will rub on the strut mount...your best bet for both performance and comfort would be the 215-45-17, plus they will fit without rubbing issues.
