Default Esc cos rims - what size tyres on a saph sierra?

Bought a set to fit to 2wd sierra but tyres are too big, 225/45/16, is 205/40 as small as I can go or has anyone run smaller? Current tyres catching wings badly on bumps.

Why would you want to fit 195 tyres on a cossie when that is narrower than standard

my guess is they have ignored the fact the OP has asked for it to fit a sierra not a Ka or fiesta, etc
