    For the front, you can go with: 195/45, 205/45, 205/40
    For the rear, you can go with: 205/45, 215/40

      that is going to be a really tight fit in the rear since your car has the later arches. i don't know if a 9x16 et0 would even fit no matter how narrow the tire is. get ready for some rubbing.

        It'll most definitely fit, but will be close w/ fitment.

              A 225 on an et0 16x9 is not going to be an easy fit, especially on a vert.
