There's gonna be a 2.4" overall diameter difference.

It'll throw your speedometer off 9.7% from your old tires..

How far are you lowered?

You can get 205 45 16 pretty popular size for about $80 a tire. 45's are better than 40's.

those two sizes are really far from each other. the 45 will be a low profile looking like tire, while the 55 will look like a donut on ur car.

look at my pixs in my profile for a pix of my tire.

I would go with 205/50/16. Heck, with stock height, even 225/50/16 would be ok.
