Guy at tyre shop said 215/40/17 would be concaved in, and is best for 7 or 7.5 width.

215/40 is not enough tire (doesn't fill wheel well, rougher ride, not as much rim protection)
225/40 is a very rare size (tirerack doesn't have a single tire in this size)

what's wrong with 215/45?
most people will tell you 225/45 are best. and lots of tires to choose from in this size.
these are 225/45 on 17x8 so you have an idea:
