I've been debating if i can fit a 205 40R 16 on my dc (overall height 22.4") from the stock 195 55R 15 (23.4"). Im currently lowered on Tein Flexes and with my current tires i have on now 205 45R 16 (23.2") I am rubbin like crazy. However the recomended aspect ratio on a 16" is a 45 not 40...my question is, am i safe to put a tire that is one inch (overall height) smaller than the factory spec on the car?

The tires i want to put on are the 205 40R16 (22.5") Falken 615's
Thanks a bunch

i have that on mine right now aswell, i think my speedo is off a bit but not by much

it works and think of it as a speeding safety net as you'll be slower then what your speedometer is showing.

Umm.. what is the offset of your wheels?

if you're going with azenis, why not go for 215/45/16? which is stock tire size on jdm 98specr wheels.

45% of 215 is going to be even taller so if you rub now your going to rub for sure with those unless you change your hieght

i was thinking of the 215 45 16, however my ride height is a issue, one more question, will the 205 40 16 rub less?

205 40's will make your car a little lower since the overall diameter is smaller and you will have less rubbing issues, IMO 205 /40s look good if your dumped, otherwise a bit more meat is alright.
