Browse the photos below to see how different tyre and wheel brands look at this combination.
At the aggressive end of moderate, this 205/40 surrenders nearly 24mm to the 9 inch rim's 229mm width. On a 16 that produces a strongly angled sidewall with real lip on show. Mk2 Golf and E30 builds on deep-dish splits are the classic home for it throughout the scene.
