Default Is anyone running 245/40/19's?

Rims are 19x8.5 with +35 offset. By the look of it if people can use 35's with 20's I assume I can use 40's with 19 and have the same "lift" as I would with 35/20's so I can drop it and cover the fender gap? Or should I just get 245/35/19?

I think GSing430 uses a 40 series up front on his 19" Work wheels. I have 19x8.5 and 19x10 iforgeds and run a 245/35 in the front and a 275/30 in the rear.

i went with the "fat setup" due to a better ride quality and so that i don't have to worry about hitting a pothole and curbing or bending my works (1k for a wheel is very painful to replace, even having it repair won't be the same IMO). having a bent wheel is a pain and no fun at all. the only drawback on my fat setup is that it makes the wheel look smaller.
