i can get reo 40 in    215 45 r16    but that means the rears will be 10mm lower profile than the fronts...... is that ok? there is so many different size combinations to choose from!!!!

I thought 215/45R16 was the standard '03 size for the rears.. It's been so long since I saw a set of stock wheels with stock tyres on, though!

it is

and the 50 in 205/50 referes to a percentage of teh 205 not an absolute value

if you have 205/50/16 on there at the moment they aren't the correct tyres
