I have an 06 GT, Eibach springs lowered 2 inches.  19 inch wheels.  i currently have 245/35/19 up front and 275/30/19 in the back.  I want to go with something larger in back and maybe up front.  can I go to 275/40/19 in back and 245/40/19 up front without rubbing wheel wells or shock towers?  Help...

What you are doing here is increasing the height of the tire, not width. Plus, these are very small incremental changes so if you don't have clearance issues right now, I doubt the tire size you are contemplating would mke much difference.
