Them wheels actually suit the car better than i would of thought!

The thing with switching the tyre profiles about is that it will mess up your speedo calibration, you need to fins one of them websites that can calculate the difference in readings depending on what profile tyres you have

yeh but they are too big anyways so smaller tyres will bring the speedo back in calibration.

so will 195/40/16's look ok?

Dont get Toyo's. I suggest Uniroyal Rainsport, ive got 4 on my unlowered golf and it handles much better than my brothers VTR lowered 40mm.
