Default Overall Diameter

To stay as close as possible to the OE overall diameter run the 245/35 and 275/30.

245/40 and 275/35 for 19 inch wheels have a taller sidewall compared to 245/35 and 275/30 which results in better protection of the wheels against bending. The overall diameter is similar to a 20-inch wheel setup...most probably a little shorter but that also depends on the tire chosen. I have 245/40/19 and 275/35/19 SP9000 with eibach springs. Since they are taller, they fill up the wheelwells more giving it a more lowered look (less than 2 finger gap f&r) while still retaining ground clearence. Also the ride is smoother than with the old 245/35 and 275/30. Hope this helps....
