Who's running 205/40/16?

My 205/45-16's look markedly undersized. Ride is a bit stiffer with the shorter sidewall, but the differing characteristics of the tire itself may override that. Speedo will be even more optimistic and the odometer will read more miles than you are driving (making your mpg look better than it is.) Will help acceleration or increase wheelspin.
205/40-16 is 22.5" diameter compared to 24.4" for 195/55-16. That will increase the gap between the tire and fender by .95" and lower the ride height of the car by the same amount.
If you don't have height adjustable coilovers I'd seek advice on suspension geometry changes before running those.
