Re: tire question (deftones0817)
Your gearing will be affected slightly with 205/40 tire, speedo may show about 2-3% faster speed than you're actually going, which is practically negligible, considering most speedos are geared up 6% anyway.
205/45 is closer to OEM tire size on EG, I found 205/50 works better for me on EK. Don't go 205/50 on your car, though, because you may rub.
