What size tires could fit on oem 19

Could I fit a 235/40/19 in the front for oem 19's I know the fenders and stuff will allow it but will the wheel? or will it bubble out? does anyone have any pics? and what about the rear could you fit 255/40/19 in the rear?

The OEM 19-inch wheels are 8 inches wide in front and 8.5 inches wide in back. The range of acceptable rim widths is 8-9.5 inches for a 235/40-19, and 8.5-10 inches for a 255/40-19. In each case the "ideal" rim width is a half inch wider than the OEM rim, but they should accomodate these tires without any problem.

Simple -- more tires to choose from. The selection of available tires in our OEM size is quite limited.
