Changing tyres from 235/35 to 235/40 on 19" wheels

[Pricey_89]

Evening!
Has anyone upped the tyre profile on a their LCR ST's or LCR's 19 inch alloys?
I'm looking to add some more protection for potholes as I've managed to crack one of my alloys . Just wondering if anyone has done this already and did you have any clearance problems with the wheel arches or shocks with the camber factored in at the rear?

I'm aware the ride height and the speedo will be different but my cars dash shows 2mph over the cars actual speed (Checked with GPS at a range of speeds with newish tyres) so the difference would bring me to pretty much accurate with the tyre change.

Thanks all!

Stock ride height?

Stock ride height?

Yeah, it's at stock height

If I look at my 2015 with stock suspension & stock wheels, I suspect I have more than enough room to accomodate the extra height.

Tyre size calculator shows that sidewall would be 13mm higher
