Default 19" Wheels Help!

I am considering in purchasing some 19" wheels.

The specs of the rims are:
Size19x8.5 Bolt Pattern5x108 Offset40
Would I run into any problems if I would put 235/35/19 Toyo Proxes 4 tires?

My stock wheels are 225/45/17...

Thanks!

Are you on stock suspension or are you lowered?

The fronts may rub slightly on your fender liner when turned at full lock but otherwise youll have clearance for miles.

If you do decide to lower the car (which you probably will once you realize how high it looks with 19s and a 4x4 stance) you will definitely need to roll fenders/possibly run narrower tires depending on what you go with.

I'm running my 19x8 wheels with 40mm offset and hubcentric rings on 215/35/19 General Exclaim Tires and stock suspension. I had 225/35/19 on there but it rubbed like crazy. The 215/35/19's dont rub at all; the only time it did is when I hit a pothole. Hope this helps

You'll want 225/35/19 with a 40mm offset (assuming fender rolling won't happen). There is no real difference in ride, performance or curb protection from a 225 to a 235.
