I'm on 205/45 Federals, and they definitely run fat, but I like the size of them. Got them because they were cheap. Wondering if 205/45 S-Drives would look the same.

            haha Thanks! The stretch is decent I wouldn't recommend a 40 series though unless you plan on going very low. 205/45 will be chunky. I suggest a 195/45. very minimal stretch and they shouldn't look super fat. My gottis are 16x8 so I had no choice but to go with a small tire to get the fitment on point.

                As far as I know they're just rolled. It only rubs with more than 3 people in the car. Definitely something I need to fix though. I hate it.

                  Slight pull will fix that. My car is only a 1 seater ;) lol

                    I don't really mind fat/wide so much, just don't want super tall sidewalls. The sidewall height on my 205/45 Federals are perfect, I'll get a pic later. A 195/45 is going to make for a shorter sidewall than a 205/45 would have. Gotta keep in mind, it's an aspect ratio, you change the first number, the second number changes, too.
