225/40 will give you a slight rub when turning. i dont recall anyone getting 255/40/ for rear. most of the guys get 225/35 for front including myself, as for rear, i have 255/35 fits fine & great however some go with 265/30

without knowing the offsets, you probably cannot get the proper answers to your question.

offsets are needed to give you a definitive answer. peyman has a pretty good stating point.

correct me if im wrong guys, but arent the offsets written on the inside of the wheel?

RWD
19X8.5 Front
19X9.5 Rear

You can run
225/35/19 Front with 265/30/19 Rear Or
235/35/19 with 255/35/19

Or you can mix between these two settings, depends on how do you want your car to look.

^ negative sir...
for example: I had 19x8.5 but because my offset was +20, I had to run 215/35/19 and they still rubbing with shaved fenders.

OP find offsets first before you get some random answers..

Thanks everyone.. I'll update you guys this week, when I receive my shipment from Victoria. Because I bought the BBS LMs. Im planning to buy 235/35 and 265/30. Will that look nice on a stock suspension? Thanks and god bless everyone..

Sir you are correct, sir. In my answer, I was meaning for normal offset----Something in the +40 to +30 range. Sorry that I overlooked the aspect of offset. At least my 8.5+35 F , 9.5+35 R work perfect with 235/35F and 255/35R.
