225/40/17 tires have ~3.54 inch tall side walls,
225/50/17 tires have ~ 4.429 inch tall side walls,

The 50's will be 1.778 inches taller than the 40's, that's a lot more rubber to fit inside there. I suspect you would be rubbing just from casual driving (not to mention aggressive cornering) with the amount of lowering you have, Try it out, but anticipate having to roll the fender some.

Edit: (I should point out only about half of that 1.778 will be eating up your wheel gap, since the other half will go to raising the car up)
