These look , but they're definitely not low profile tires. They're not for me, but I'd have to see it on a production car before passing judgement.
Since when are 40 series tires not low profile?
A 12 inch wide 40 series racing tire will have a 4.8 inch sidewall. A ten inch wide 40 series street tire will have a 4.0 inch sidewall.
The sidewall height is a function of the width of the tire measured in percent. A wider low profile tire will have a taller sidewall than a thinner tire. The proportions are the same.
