well it depends on the wheel offset. I am running 19x8.5 et 32 with 245 tires and no rubbing

Many would rather not use a 245 or a 40mm aspect ratio on a 19" wheel, because it is larger in diameter than the OE size.

The tire is 1.7" taller than normal... and it'll raise your car almost an inch. It probably will fit, but why?

Those are really large tires. Go with 35 series tire.

Offset is a big factor here, I dont know if i would do a 40 sidewall.

Hi guys,

Thanks for the inputs. i shouldve mentioned the reason i am considering the 245/40 is because these are for winter and wanted to go with 40's on all 4 corners rather than 35's.
