dude the drivability with the 45 series is so much nicer. With the 40's you will feel and hear every damn bump in the road. At least with the 45's they will soak up some of the bumps. I know from experience, i will never go back to a 40 series tire again! And if u care you will maintain a stock like overall wheel diameter with the 45's. Go with the 45's!!!

The 205/40/16 will put you about 1 inch shorter in tire diameter compared to the stock size. Go with the 205/45/16 size.
