Not checking the proper size calibration for your vehicle is considered slapping them on. And are you sure the speedometer is not linked with the tires? If you drive on a 13 inch wheel and your rim makes one complete revolution, you go a distance we'll note as X. If you drive on a 24 inch wheel and your rim makes one complete rotation, the distance you travel is going to be more than X, therefore the size of tire (45/40) will have an impact on the incorrect readout of both your speedometer and your odometer. If you choose to go with an incorrect tire size, don't:
a) come crying here when you get a speeding ticket saying it wasn't your fault.
b) try to sell your vehicle with 100,000 kilometers when it actually has 115,000 kilometers. Tell the next buyer you don't know how to measure tires properly and therefore the odometer is inaccurate.

I have 215 tires and make U-turns, you're fine. Just make sure you have your wheels properly aligned and get a camber kit if you need it....but you shouldn't.
I'm not usually this mean to people but I really hate it when someone throws parts on their car whichever price/size/colour/year/brand they can fit and then complain about getting hassled by cops (see multiple **** cops threads) when they find out they're stupid and should have planned better.
There is a tire calculator on this forum (I think) or there are multiple on Google. For reference, I had 195/70/14 on my car I think and now I have 215/35/18 and they barely fit without rubbing. Please find out which size tire is best for your car.
