tires experts help me! 19' tires for the 3 rotor

I'm looking for the opinion of the tires experts of the forum,

I have Axis hiros on my car 8.5 on front and 9.5 on rear , rigth now I'm using

235/35/19
265/30/19

and I don't like them, they are two low. I need to buy new tires but
I'm looking for a higher tire to have less spin.

Does any one is using this set up?

245/45/19 front
275/40/19 rear

any one knows if they would fit/work without any rubbing or problem?

thank you for your help.

Manuel

edit: i didnt read the 40 sidewall part, should work tho, just dont plan on lowering the car, and you may need to trim inside lip on the rear fender.

Thank you for your help guys.....................

I don't have plans to lower the car,
I'm looking for higher tires because the streets in Puerto Rico
are not the best one's.................
with the actutal tires when i take a hole, it feels so hard!

so,
the 275/40/19 for the rear would work without rubbing if I don't lower the car?

regards,

Manuel
