in what way?
194/45's are the best, 205's are for a 7x16 wheels really, speedlines are 6.5 wide, i have falkens on mine that have quite a small mould on the tread, if you got for sumthin like rainsports they have a bigger mould and make the wheels look smaller and there are more chances of scrubbing

the wheels im using are 16" astra coupe rims, so looking for the ideal size to both fit the car and offer the best benifits as far as traction goes

40's look the best for sure.
Less sidewall-give around corners/roundabouts too 
Much more expensive though
