i'm not an expert when comes to tires but i'd say the 40 would prob be better bet if not a 225/35 but like i said im still learning the 'art of stretching' lol

im on, and have been on 210 on a 10. i daily drive my car like crazy AND im a delivery driver for my job which i have to use my own car. stretches arent as sketchy as what people make it out to be. just drive safe. you'll be good with either option you go with

205/40 won't even be a bad stretch.

I'm a REBEL, Dottie!

I have 225/45/17 tires on 7" wheels!
They are square with the wheel!
Heaven forbid! ;-)

I remember big fat 60 series tires on 15x10" wheels on the back of a raked Camaro. no, I never drove a Camaro, but I did have an S10 with similar setup...
That drove like crap.
It was a fad too...
