Just wondering what size tires everyone was running on their after market rims. I was looking into 205/40/16 but didn't know if they would look too small....maybe 205/45/16??

88Corolla GTS..
I have Toyo Proxies on my 16"rims and they're 205/40/16.. I regret not getting the 45 series because I need to fill up the my side gaps on both front and rear, it looks like there's alot of space on the left and right of the tire.. I advise you to go with 205/45/16, that's what I'm getting after these wear out

Plus 40 series aren't really comfortable, so I'd think that 45 would have a bit more meat on them, which would make them a bit for confortable on bumps and nice potholes..

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention..
My winter setup which is 195/60/14 is actually a bit bigger in diameter than the 205/40/16.
Which isn't very nice!
