so why did you all decide to go with the 40? instead of 45?

If i remember correctly the 45 in these tires are actually taller then your regular 45 and most people take that into account and get a 40. When i put these on my RL there was a difference in diameter of the 45 series of .5" or something like that between the KDW and my Dunlaps, the KDW being the taller of the two.

225/40 is what I had with Sportline springs, they rubbed only when making a U-Turn on my Cobalt. If you don't plan on lowering, then 225/45 would work well too. Great tires BTW!
