i would stick with the 195 40 17 you cant tell the difference from a 205 but the car no's and it is a nicer ride i had 205s all around my 89 hatch and then bought 4 new tires and it cornerd so much better and drive better with the 195's

there is no such size as a 195-40-17.
get 205-40-17, or 215-40-17 at the most.

any bigger will just raise the car more, and make it look terrible.

using 205-40-17's should keep you at the stock OVERALL tire\wheel diameter (approx 23.5") and that will keep your speedo calibration accurate.
