I'm about to put 245/35/19 and 325/30/19 on my wheels so I hope so.

They aren't OEM wheels but they are the same sizes, 8.5 & 11.

Side note, I believe you'll have to up the rears to 325 to keep the rolling diameter in check.

The normal size is a 235 but I'd like a little more grip up front and thought a 245 might do the trick.
They will fit, but you will need to change rears to match, or destroy your awd differential. I believe the tolerance is +/- 3%.
