Lee R Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 i'd go 205/40...Whys that? you actually reduce rolling radius with this size, car looks slightly lower, and might gain a little bit of acceleration with 205/45 you are increasing by a little, not alot, but its still an increase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
