KYB- GR2/TEIN and Tire size question!!!

Ok guys.. Don't hate me 4 this but I order my KYB and Teins springs... I'm getting 19 x 8.5 rims.. I know most combo's are 235/35/19 or 245/35/19 but with the roads where i live i was thinking about a taller sidewall.. I found a 245/40/19 but not sure if i would have a problem rubbing or not.. I would hate like hell to order 4 tire and not fit.. Difference in sidewall height between 35 or 40 is about an 1/2 inch... The speedo will be 2mph fast too..

The easiest way to do this is go to the tire rack's web site and check out tire specs. Like diameter, etc. They also have revs per mile listed. the factory 17s have the following specs: 6.7" tread width, 25.9" tall, and 804 revs per mile. For example, I'm going with 18s in the 245/40 size and they are the closest I could find in 18" size. They are 9.4" tread width, 25.6" tall, and 810 revs per mile. Pretty close IMO.
