So the stock rims on my 04 hyundai accent are 14's and the tires are 185/60/14. I'm upgrading to 16's, not 17's because the car is small and so aren't the wheel wells. I bought factory rims off another car(same manufacturer); a Hyundai Sonata, that are 16x6's. The tires that are supposed to go on those rims are 205/60/16, but that would be way too big for my car and my spedo would be way off. I'm trying to figure out if I need 205/45/16 or 195/45/16 to fit the rim correctly. I'm pretty sure on low profile tires the 205 only fit 6.5 - 7.5 width rims but I'd like a second opinon.

You would probably want to go with the 195/45/16, but you aren't going to find a very big selection in that size.
