which tire size for my B3 90 20V?
i got some 16" borbet type t's
the 2 sizes i am thinking about are:
205/45/16 or
225/40/16
not too much of a price difference, so what do you think?

It pretty much depends on what you want: Ride comfort, or performance
More grip with the 225's but less road noise and a lot less busy on less than stellar roads with the 205's

225 tire may not clear the fender if it clears the tie rod end. If it clears the fender, it may not clear the tie rod end. You don't have much room in there.

time to bust out the measuring tape i guess....
tirerack says a 16X7.5" borbet will fit in there with a 205.45.16, so i dont see why an extra .4" of tread on either side will matter, but i will measure
