Tyre choice

Hi, please can I ask for some tyre advice. I've just done a light freshen up of a set of 16" 11 spoke wheels, but uncertain which tyres to fit. They're going on a 98 F to replace the original 15". I'm struggling to get hold of 215 40 16 locally at a price I can afford, so I wondered if its possible to to fit 205 45 16 front and rear instead of 215 40 16? Any advice gratefully received. Thanks in advance 👍

Hi, a month ago, so maybe overdue, but 16" 11-spoke, those are the ones I got (2004 MG TF 135). I put Hankook on them, a few years ago. Hankook Ventus V12 Evo 2 to be exact. I don't know what locally is to you, and what you can afford, but at https://www.mytyres.co.uk/rshop/tyre/Hankook/Ventus-V12-Evo-2-K120/215-40-ZR16-86W-XL-4PR-SBL/D-120698 they are £ 80…
Cheers,
Richard
