If your concern is mainly comfort and sidewall, I would suggest downgrading to an 18" rim. You aren't going to want to run the sizes you mention because of it's impact on gearing above all else. A 275/35 is going to be 5% larger than stock and the 40 is almost 10%.I have a question related to changiong from the stock tires, I hope the OP doesnt mind.
We have 265/30/19 tires now, I don't know anything about tires, and wheels, off sets, etc.. so I am a bit lost.
What I was hoping to do with my limited understanding of tires is order a slightly wider tire with a little more sidewall.
I was hoping that I could fit a 275/35/19 or even a 275/40/19 on the Type S, along with 20 mm spacers.
I was hoping this combo would sit closer to flush but wouldn't rub, the added side wall would dampen some of the road stuff and offer a little more protection against breaking a wheel in a pothole.
I know that you can use a few different width tires on the stock rims, but how do I calculate if this set up will rub or is that something the tire shop, I deal with will be able to do for me?
When I get to tire calculators they ask a lot of questions about the wheels, like make, brand, off set and I don't have any of that information.
I was really hoping other users might help me make sense of this or maybe others have already done this.
It's likely you can run a 275/30/19 on the 20mms, I think there are a few CTRs running it. Probably even 285/30. Otherwise I would recommend stepping down to an 18" so you can maintain closer to stock gearing. Check the CTR forums as they have more users experimenting with spacer and tire size. But you will want to stick to the 30 profile. A local shop won't know if it clears, you will either need to talk to owners or reach out to a specialty shop that knows fit and has done a few DE5s/FL5s.
