Default Got some free tires, will they fit?

I just got 3 free tires (2) 245-45-19 and (1) 275-40-19. I have a set of 19x9.5 ruff racing rims that are going on my 2002 SS camaro.

What I want to know is if they will fit with minimal BFH or if it is too tall. If they fit I will buy the fourth tire. If not I will need to sell them.

Im not sure if I'd want 245s on a 9.5 wheel. The 275 should work though. Not sure about the height.

245 is gonna be a stretch. The 275s are probably gonna be some tall tires though, stock size is 275-40-17, so it'll be the same profile with an extra 2" of added rim.

If its less than 27.5" you could probably BFH it to fit, but i cant guarantee that.
