Don't know if you're still looking, but these are a good tire for a great price. Granted they don't have all that much life in them, but by the sound of things you're not thinking long term here.

Nice tire, great price - wrong tire size. I sold those wheels to Cam and they'll be fine with 205/40s but 205/45 is pushing it and you'll rub the front fender on medium to large bumps (and you know they're everywhere). I know because that's what I had on there for a few months.

The Ronal R20s have a 7.5" width which makes the 35ET offset very close to the wheel well with 45 profile. Eventually I switched to 205/40-16f and 225/40-16r which worked nice before going to 17s. Maybe the 30% tread that's left on these ones might kind of emulate a 40 series but I still think it's close. It also depends on your suspension, if Cam has stock springs and shocks I'd move on to something else.

I do have stock suspension...and those tires do seem fairly cheap, theres also a set on Revscene..dunlop FM901's with 60% for $200 but they're also 205/45/16.
