It looks neat, and works fine on the SP Sport 5000's because they are all season anyway and the rubber "let's go" before the maximum force of the sidewall is reached anyway, but won't I be loosing cornering force with that sort of "triangle" sidewall shape? (I may not be explaining this well)
Thanks for all this help, but the way, I really appreciate it.

Well, my main concern w/ a 40 or 45 series tire on a 16" rim would be sidewall height. It'll look funky if you put a 40 or 45 series tire on the stock rim in 215 width. 225s will bulge out a little more, but they'll still be good and the sidewall won't be as low.
Totally up to you, but I'd go 225 for sure.
