Default Any rubbing or issues with 245/40 and 275/35 ?

I have a 2013 F-Sport RWD and want to get the Pilot Sport AS/3 tires. I am thinking about upsizing though to 245/40/19 and 275/35/19 . Anyone have any issues with these rubbing or other things ?
Is there a better size to go with ? I dont like the options for the standard sizes and the Super Sports I have now, I love, but I am tired of replacing them every 15k-20k miles. That is about once a year.

I don't know about 19s but I have 245/35/20s in the front and it rubs the front left liner.

I'm running stocks right now for the winter with 25mm spacers and it still rubs the left liner.

IMO... you shouldn't have any issues if you are still on your stock F sports (19") wheels and also if you are still stock height.

what offset are the wheels , if there are under 38 u will have the issue of rubbing the liner which I had before also, I have tried 32 and 35 and 38 is the safest for 245-35-20 on a GS.

I don't think I rub but I'm running 245-35-20 on 20x9 38offset squared set up and so far so good. Plus i haven't had it rub that I've noticed even with 5 adults in the vehicle.

Had 20" Vorsteiner wheels, 245 front and 275 rear. Had no issues with rubbing in the rear but only had a small rub on the plastic in the wheel well. Nothing serious but some rubbing.

Question 245-40-19 and potholes?

How do the 245-40-19 s do as far as hitting potholes and tearing? They are a little taller.
