Hey Anthony... When I had my 550 I used the same tire size..I swear for the love of god I cant remember right now, but I dont know if 40's will fit on 19's.. I had 35's ad 30's in the rear I think.. I had the continental dws.. They were excellent. hold on ill find the add I placed when I sold them.
ok here ya go.. they worked awesome on my car during the snow and ice..

i have the blizzaks on my stock M 19" wheels now. I absolutely love them in the snow.. Its nothing like Annti gets, but NY has been snowballed this past winter. I even have a hill on my driveway and block! But the DWS's are awesome, order them now cause there always on backorder!

could be the size you were looking for. i had to compromise alittle too on the blizzaks. just get the dws, there really good. last winter was bad too, im on a hill and so is my block, and i was fine in the 550
