a lot of it depends on the offset and face of the wheel. post the rest of the information on them so we can better help you. we already know the sizes, we need to know the offsets, front and rear of those wheels, brand and model, just to see what we are dealing with.

if that setup is +40 all around and you go with conservative width tires, 225 f and 255 r, it should fit no problems. now you didn't say if you are lowered or at stock height. the more info you give about your setup, the better we can answer, but intially it seems good to go.

so what tire should i run, or let me put it this way what tire would you run with stock height on frornt and back, and what tire would you run if it were to be lowered ( if the tires need to be changed)

also i noticed that the package they are offering you comes with 235/40 and 265/35 tires. those sidewalls are too small, the sizes to go with to maintain your overall circumference the same are 235/45 and 265/40. that will get you under 1% overall circumference just by going off those sizes.

to maintain the overall circumference, the closest to stock, yes. you can try other sizes, but the key is you want to get your overall circumference (wheel and tire) as close to the stock circumference as possible so your electronics, like VDC and speedometer and such are happy.
