Haven't really thought of what I'm doing with them yet. Bought the xi CPO 2 months ago and of course they put brand new runflats
on them. Let me think about it. I figured I would use them for winter rims and sell the runflats. Might be better off selling as package.
Still on the fence of plus sizing the tires and doing 19s or 20s staggered.

if you wanted to plus the sidewall, the tire sizes you would want to go with to keep the ratio would be:
235/40/19 and 255/35/19. by going up in tire height, you have to get a narrower tire to keep the ratio about the same
with these tire sizes you will get about a 2.5% increase.
Honestly I would keep it at the recommended tire to get the best possible grip.

I was on 245/35/19 front and 275/30/19 rear (the standard setup) last year but I didn't like the rubber band look and I didn't like being able to feel every little bump on the road.
I am now rolling on the 245/40/19 front and 275/35/19 rear setup that you had mentioned.
No issues at all. The ride is a little more comfy too.
