sizing sounds fine, just make sure you can get those sizes in the same brand.

as far as i can recall there arent a ton of companies that make a 195/40r16

if you run a 205/40/16 up front you will have a lot more choices for tires, the front tires won't be stretched ,  but you would hardly have any stretch with a 195/40 in the first place. what car are these gonna be fitted to?

Depends on your stance and offsets.

While a 195/40 won't be "stretched" it'll sure as fuck run alot smaller. The T1R's in that size run pretty tiny on a 7.5. They also make a 215/40 but with 195/40's on the front I'd roll 205's on the back.

All this being said the Falkens are discontinued so your gonna have some trial and error.
