I think they are slightly wider (205) but the hight slightly slimmer (40) and the diameter is the same (17)

205 or 195 is the tread width so 205 is wider

45 or 40 is the ratio of the tyre height to the width (i think??) so 40 will be lower profile than 45

wasn't sure whether 195 tyres would be smaller therefore making it sit and bit lower and the tyres to appear smaller?

not at 45's they would look thicker, but will slant more, which is a look I really dont like (and people will constantly be telling you you have a flat :P :lol: )
