I know correct size is 215/40/16 but would it cause any probs running 215/45/16?

I have 4 of the 45 profile nearly new

45 is the correct profile... 40 is for a 17" rim

My original sales brochure states 215/40/16?

215/40/16 was the correct size for a anni, you could switch to 205/45/16's however with no issues.

215/45/16's would affect the speedo.

How much would it affect the speedo?

Minimal. 1-3% at most probably. You wouldn't notice

As above not a lot, 205's would give you more clearance if it is lowered.
