Yes, you can run 205/40's without any problems whatsoever... but WHY would you want to do that???

Yes you could.

Yes will affect performance, acceleration and breaking will be quicker (due to a smaller diameter) it's going to feel peppier, and will turn corners faster

No It won't damage gearbox

Your speedo will read a 3 or 4 MPH faster than actual (at highway speeds) aprox.

The gap between tire and fender will be bigger

Your ride will be harder (less rubber) you may feel bumps more than before.

I'm not an expert on the topic but I hope it helps, I'm sure other YarisWold members would have something to say, specially the ones that have done this exercise!

What is your goal changing tires size?
