If you are talking about aftermarket wheels...what are the offsets?

Are you looking at 40 series to improve the ride quality or protect the rims better?

These tires would fit on the rims but your speedo would be off by 4 miles with that rear tire! You should consider 245/35-19 for the rear, than the speedo is off by 2 miles.
