Arrow will these tire sizes work???

this is for GS4

wheels : F 19 x 8.5 +40
R 19 x 9.5 +42

tires : F 235/35
R 275/30 will these work without fender mods cuz i don't want to roll the fenders.

if you drive an SC, they'll work

but I'm not psychic, so we'd need to know what kind of car you drive...

then they'll work, but you could go bigger... 275/35-19 would be better fit, and 245/40-19 front

I like seeing less rubber and more steel so I'd rather stick to 245/35 and 275/30 instead of going thicker.

It'll only make the wheels a bit heavier and affect acceleration IMO

it'llalso make more wheel well gap... and closer to proper gear ratios...

it shouldn't make any more wheel gap than there already was, seeing as how the new set up overall diameter will be the same as the out going stockers.

if you want to get rid of some wheel gap then, you can install lowering springs with a moderate drop of about 1.0 inch or less.

with a moderate drop, tread wear won't be greatly affected and it'll be easier on the shocks

it shouldn't be as long as the shocks and springs are in good condition.
