16 inch rim tyre size

[Mikecivic78]

My recently purchased em1 coupe has got 16 inch rims with 205/40/16 tyres. With this profile, the wheels and tyres look kinda small. Should i get 205/45/16tyres (or bigger) instead, or is this size ok for handling/performance/looks? what do u guys think?

go 17's. 16's in my opinion is too small for a em1. wont affect your performance too much.

But that would mean new rims and tyres. I'm just talking about tyres, I know a guy with good used 205/45r16's offering them for a good price.

its low profile. get 45.. drop the car and it would look nice.. but not those wheels on an em1.. get cpr :)
