When you replace them I would go withrolling on stock 275/40R19 Pirelli P-Zeros. Wheels/tires were changed with like 128 on the odometer. Actually made money putting these wheels on and selling my stock wheels.
To me, your rear sidewall looks too thin. It's thinner than the front sidewall, which never looks right IMO.^ Tire side wall should be a little lower, for reference my rear 20"s are 295/30R20. Front is 265/35/19:
Otherwise, nice choice in wheels. Something different.
To me 40 is too thick, on the way to looking like a donut. I can lower the front of my car so the front 35 side wall doesn't look too thick. Problem is my driveway is high and I scrub all ready being 5" off the ground with the boss splitter.To me, your rear sidewall looks too thin.

It's not as simple as saying 30 vs 35 etc, as that's the aspect ratio which is a percentage of the width. For example, a 335/25 has a slightly higher sidewall than a 275/30.To me 40 is too thick, on the way to looking like a donut.

Fwiw, sports cars use 35 sidewall or less. Anything higher is economical and better for comfort. The rear on a corvette is 25 profile with 30 for fronts. Just food for thought.
Not sure where you got those sizes, but that's too large for those wheels IMO, and you don't want or need that wide of a tire upfront for your car. It would just increase weight, tramlining, hydroplaning, rolling resistance, etc. I'm guessing you don't track it. 255 up front (assuming a good tire ) is plenty for the street. The sizes I told you are ideal and would look really good.not doing weird shit with this car this time around. Will probably stick with stock sizes or something in the rear that's wider but equivalent in diameter to the stock 275/40R19 it was graced with from the factory.
interwebs says I'd need a 315/35R19 out back, and a 295/35R19 up front if i wanted to go wider .
your suggestion of a 305 out back would make it shorter than my stock rear tires.
