Will these tires fit? (40 series)

240/40/19 front and 275/40/19 in the rear, will those fit on a 04 lowered coupe? Its lowered about 1.2 inches. I currently have 240/35 and 285/35 and its fine, but i need new tires and the prices are too high right now for the same setup. I can save about $250 or so if I go with the 40 series. I can get a set of 4 tires for about $640.

by the way these are going on some SSR SP1 Proffessors front are 8.5 and back are 10" wide, from what i remember.

Thank you guys for the help,
Alex D.

Those tires are way too big for those wheels, just spend the extra money on the correct sizes, if you own a G, $250 isn't going to kill you

lol oops I meant 245/40/19 for the front...just realized that....

I thought I saw someone on here running 40 series tires and saying it did not rub. $250 is not much money, but it is money id rather spend on something else right now. My old tires didnt last me that long and frankly at this point im not interested in dumping any money into my car because of other situations. But if they dont fit, then they dont fit and I have no choice lol....thank u for help though

those tires are .6" too tall in the front, and 1" too tall in the back. Not only will it look like a 4x4 higher than stock height, but you'll kill your acceleration using those sizes. Get the right sized tires is all I can tell you. If you want to do something against everyone's recommendations, then thats all on you
