I had 245/40/ZR19 on mine 2013 AWD and had no issues. The height of the tire was barely different so the wheel gap was still obvious, but the tires were slightly wider.

That is the exact tire size I was going to get (245/40; Michelin A/S 3+) but figured I might as well up the size even more if rubbing is not an issue. Every little bit of increased side wall helps on cappy roads.
My winters are 225/45R19. I think that's about the largest diameter you can go for 19s. With wheel turned about one full turn, the corner of the tire has just about 0.5cm clearance from the wheel well liner, can't even fit a finger between.

I think upsizing the sidewall for the rough northern roads is a good idea. But I’m pretty sure 245/45 will have a very slight difference in actual speed vs what the speedometer showed - can’t be more than 1-2 mph different, but likely something there.
It seemed like my 245/40’s were always 1 mph different than what my Escort Max360 or Waze app said. Obviously not a big deal, and quite possibly all in my head.
I got this done today at my local discount tire. I kept thinking, man, that front drivers tire looks huge. Well turns out one of the tires (only 1) was a 245/45r19. Oops. When I went back, they were out of 245/40/r19, so I drove to another store to get it resolved.
Pictures attached. Take a peak at the drivers side front and see if you notice.

How did the 245/45/19 fit? Any rubbing issues? I would totally go with 245/45's instead of the 245/40's on my next set of wheels if there was no rubbing. Also, how do you like the ride?
