ive got a new set on the way for my deck im gonna put 205/45/16 on it seems to be the closest match to total circumference if i remember rite its not even 1% out id need to double check though but its around that mark

I'd have to differ here and advise that the closest match size wise is 195/50/16. Dawns deck is running the 195/45/16's just now, and I'll be changing the tyres to 50's when the time comes. Just personal preference really mate. The wheels will look top banana on it!!!

Do you have 1.5L or 1.8L?

1.5L standard is 185/60 R14 = 1.81 meter outline.

1.8L standard is 195/55 R15 = 1.87 meter ouline.

 

If you'd have 16 inch, then these are the outlines:

205/40 R16 = 1.79 meter outline (nearly perfect match for 1.5L engines) = 2 cm off per rotation

205/45 R16 - 1.86 meter outline (nearly perfect match for 1.8L engines) = 1 cm off per rotation

 

@Dave:

195/50 R16 = 1.89 meter outline = pretty allright for 1.8L but far out for 1.5L engines = 8 cm per rotation (!)
