Default 19" Tires Help. ASAP

Hey guys, Im currently running 19" c6 rims on my '01 Z, along with 1.5 inch lowering springs and some spacers as well (I think 1") My current tire is 285/35/19. Now, i found an extremely good deal on some 275/40/19. Will they fit? Im worried about the 40mm profile..

it will throw your speedo off even worse then it is now (74 MPH when it says 70 for reference).

As far as I know my speedo is correct...but if it does im okay with that because i will be upgrading to 373s in the future and will need to retune my speedo anyways. As long as fitment is good i'm okay.

Id pass on those. I'd go for something wider. 295-305/30-35. Or at least the size you have now. The 275/40 seems like it'd be a bad combo of too much side wall and too thin for a 19x10.5

But that's just my opinion. Try to google pics of that size wheel on that size rim

Yeah that makes sense, hard to find a good deal on 19" tires, but thank you for your help
