What would be the decent ride height on a chuki with 205/50/16 all around? or if i'm going 215/35/17?

depends on the area you are driving in.If it has a lot of inclines you pull into and what not then don't go too much more than 2 inches but it depends on what you want.The tire size you mentioned doesn't sound like they will pose a problem.

thats a subjective question; you would be better off experimenting and figuring out the optimum based on your wants and needs.

One to one and a half is good.I have one and it clears a lot of bump ups from the road to grocery store bumps, which are like nearly a foot height on three feet long slope.If I drive in slow that is.
