yea of course you have a huge gap because with 16s and pretty much any 40s, you are going down to almost 2 full inches smaller in diameter than stock. just so you know, not all 40s are the same, and not all 50s are the same. that number is based on the tire width. so if you have a 205/40, it would not be as tall as a 215/40.
215/50/r16 is the exact identical to stock size. you will have the exact same wheel gap, and the exact same car height off the ground as stock.
205/50/r16 is 0.5 inch smaller than stock size. you will have a 0.25 inch larger wheel gap than stock, but your car will be 0.25 inch lower to the ground than stock.

yea or you could lower the car to get rid of some of the gap, but even if you remove the gap with the size of tires you have right now, it will look stupid. theyre way too small.
you are only going an inch bigger than the stock rim, but youre going like half the tire size. 16s with 40 are just too small.
