Need help on new tires

My tires are just worn out. I would like to go wider, 19R/240/40 front and 19R/275/35 rear. Is it possible? If so, do you think that this would lower the car price down because it does not have the original size tires? This just in case I trade my car in.

Thanks for your help

The 245/40-19 and 275/35-19 combo will work fine and is the most popular plus zero size.

Thanks... What tire do you recommend the most? I live in Houston, so the winter is really hot in here. Lol

Falken FK 452 or Yokohama S. Drive?

Hankook V12's are probably the most popular sport summer tire in the larger size combination. I'd follow that with Bridgestone's RE760.

I'm looking at running 245/40R19 all around on the OEM staggered 19's for summer and autocross. I'm on stock suspension. Should I be concerned about the front tires rubbing anything?

Probably going with Dunlop Direzza ZII. I ran through a set of ZI star specs on my previous car and loved them.

Thanks
