Ok, before i get into this, i promise, i searched.

Normal plus sizing combines 19's with 35 series tires...right?ok.I want 19's, but with a tire bigger than 35's. (At least 40's) Is this possible? What can go wrong with that?

I want 19's cause they fill in the space well, without much lowering. Yet the roads here are so jacked, i can't see tires less than 40's surviving.

Can?No Can???

There is an entire section devoted to wheels/tires. Lots of faqs and such. If you've searched, you probably found it, but your question seems to have found it's way into the general section. Do not fear...posts asking about wheel/tire combos actually do get answered there. Probably even better responses than in general.

For 19s on a 240, you're gonna need to stretch the tire to make it even look somewhat good. So running thicker tires than normal isn't gonna help your car. And 19s on 240s normally don't look good. They are way too big. Only a few have pulled off 19s on the s-chassis, and needless to say, the aero alone is worth more than most 240s out there, lol.

if you want 19" wheels to "fill the well," you will be disappointed. it just makes the awkward ride height and fender gap worse.

do some research, get a proper sized wheel and tire combination and suspension. you wont be disappointed.

Fuke the 19's get some 22's and some spring helpers and make a dunk out of that biatch.

I've only seen one S13 pull off 20s, and that was the G-Corporation car IIRC. Hot stuff. And no, I'm not joking.

you need to spend some time researching these topics to understand how a staggered setup will affect your handling and other aspects like tire cost and wear.
