P.S.
Have you considered profile of 35? Imho that should get you into lower diameter/circumcision size, then stock, no? Check up with some online tire calcs entering stock size and playing with changing desired sizes for tires you want compare them with.
P.P.S.
There is also option of higher ratio FD installment to get back transmission ratio even with larger diameter tires. Though not sure if it's worth doing if you already decided on FI in future. Car also will be lifted a bit with bigger diameter tires (seeing most prefering lowering, not sure if it's wished result).

go a way1: sidewall height is given relative to width (in %), not absolute number like width (in mm). 40% of wider tire vs 40% of narrower one = higher sidewall profile/bigger overall tire diameter/circumsize, hence differences in speedo readings / transmission ratio.

^^ am I the only one who noticed that? LMAO
