Default Anyone put a 275/40-19 on their GS?

I can get a good deal on some rear tires for my GS but was wondering what it would look like with a slightly "fatter" setup than what I have. I would have 245/40-19 on the front and 275/40-19 on rear. The current rear tire is 275/35-19. It would have some rake, I am aware of that. Any pics out there of that size on the rear? Or maybe a photochop...haha. THANKS!!

fat setup is 245/40/19 and 275/35/19. i guess you can say 275/40/19 is fatTER setup. personally i wouldn't run it, that's very big diameter, you are at 2" overspec from stock on overall diameter i believe.

thanks for clarifying henry and helping me understand better.
again, i dont recall exactly what GSing430 setup was... but i recall his signature mentioned 'fat setup'......

"...19" Work Rezaxx II forged 8.5F/10R, "fat set-up",..."

also, if someone wanted to run 40 series tires, would it better on 18's?

i believe he has 245/40 and 275/35

you can run something like 275/40 on the 18s. but the ratio would be so funny, personally might as well stay with 17s
