They will fit buddy and know there are a few guys running 19\'s at present. But, i have driven FD\'s with 17\'s and 19\'s and to be honest didnt like the feel of the car with 19\'s, felt kinda heavy and unresponsive + at 8.5 they are not overly wide enough for the rear, could really do with at least 9, 9.5 or 10" wide! That just my opinion though!

The 40 profile is to high for 19" at 255, speedo will be out by 5 mph at 60.

I\'m running mazdaspeed 17\'s with 255 30 17 rears and according to my GPS the speedo over reads by about 4 mph at 70!!! so 70 on speedo is actualy just over 65!!!
