Good idea, my coug is my weekend play thing too, which is why I have my Mondy Diesel for everyday use. I would think if you put 40 profile on a 19" alloy, it will scrub on the wheel arch liner. Also, it will knock your speedo out too - as will be far larger diameter than the standard rolling radius, as the tyre will be 10mm higher on profile, as the 19's should have a 30mm profile tyre.
The profile value is not a measurement in mm as such. It's a percentage of the tyre width.
But yes, a 40 profile on a 19" tyre will knock your speedo out.
I was advised to not go above 17inch wheels unless I wanted a trip to the chiropractor 
so fair play to you on the 19's
I won't mention the 20's fitted to on members old car......

May be a while but im going to give it a go!!
It had 19's on before so it should be ok, and ill just check speedo with satnav and then adjust
Have to agree with Manos here Gav, i spent ages looking at wheels and decided on the current ones you have fitted. I believe then to be the best to match the arches, i did consider 19"s but what the though of the current road conditions and aged chassis it stuck with 18's and some chunky tyres.
Silver matches the car colour perfectly IMHO, painted calipers could be an option if this helps you stick with Silver and the more spokes you have the better. I would go for the refurbs and grow to like them until you can afford the new ones:beer:
Tbh all opinions and info have now drew me to keep these wheels on for now!!!
Cheers all
If i manage to crack an alloy on a 40 profile on the bumpy roads in swindon then im sure a 30 profile aint gunna help much
dunno y i pay tax!!
