Default 215/40/19 on Xb??

I have searched and read and just want to be sure!

I have purchased 19x8 +45mm offset wheels. I have also ordered a set of shims from van. I am wanting to put 215/40/19 or 225/40/19 tires with a 2" lowered springs. Does anyone for see a problem with turning or anything else. All help would be appreciatied.
I'm sure the 215/35/19 will be fine but would like a little more cushion on the rim if possible.

60 mph on your speedo will really be 55 mph. You're trying to put a tire that is almost 7 inches "rounder" on circumference.

You got that backwards. Actually, if you're going 60 mph on your speedo, your actual speed is 65.13.
