Curious if anyone has run this tire size?? and what issues or info you might be able to offer. I know there are alot of variables, just curious if anyone has any first hand experience. +35 wheel BTW. Thx

you can do a 245-35-19 which is 0.2-0.3" larger diameter (25.7")than stock. The 245-40-18 is TOO large. It has a diameter of 26.7" where as stock OEM is 25.4" (235-40-18). Some folks use the 245-40-19 on their allroads.

245/35-19 needs to be XL to be used safely

ET38 should be fine depending on the design of the wheel. WE've had issues with the 245/35-19 rubbing without a fenderlip roll or adding negative camber, so I'd exoect the taller tire would be more likely to have issues.
