What you going for?? Stretch tyres?
If so, 195/40;16's on the fronts
205/40/16's on the rears.

Rav and Rav 2 lol!!

Stretched tyres look sweet - i've got 9j borbets with 195/40/16 and they give a mega stretch and really expose the lip of the wheel. But 205's will look more 'normal' do you want to see a pic? i can post 195's on 9j tomorrow if you want?
I'll check with the manager
