40 is not the width 205/215 is the width. 40 is the profile or height of sidewall. Although both 40 profile, the sidewalls will be different heights making the overall rolling radius of these to tyre sizes slightly different. So its not ideal on a 4wd car and could wind the diffs up. Profile sizes i.e. 40,45,60 are a percentage of the width of the tyre. Not 40,45 and 60mm as many think
