Yup. They should fit. Stick with a 245/40-R19 tyre since they are 8" wide. The OEM rims are 7.5" and the 245 is the widest reccomended for that width.

Would 245 /35 or 45 /19 fit these rims also?

Whats the difference between 245 /40/19 and 35/45 ??


I can get tires 245/35 and 45/19 much cheaper...

What would be better 35 or 45? Or does it have to be 40? Thanks

245/40-R19 is the proper tire size so your speedometer will be giving accurate readings. Don't cheap out and get the wrong tire size.

Try Khumo SPT. They're lower priced and have gotten some great reviews.

If you lower the sidewall ratio from 45 to 35, you will get a stiffer ride. better cornering. Do some reading (tirerack.com) before you experiment. May lower the car a bit. I have seen member pictures with 19. Definitely a stiffer ride.
