Default Wheel Question

Hello,

I have a 350 AWD F-Sport running the stock setup, 225/40R/18 in the front, and 255/35R/18 in the back.

I want to pick up a set of Niche Forms that are 245/40R/19. Does anyone know if there will be issues with the AWD system as well as fitment?

What are the rim specs that you will be putting the 245/40/19 on?

The rim specs are 19x8.5 +3.5, 5x114.3.

Assuming you meant +35, then likely the rim will fit just fine.
As for the tire size, the speedo would be off a noticeable amount.
Depending on what your ride quality needs are, I would suggest a 255/30/19 or a 245/35/19.
