stock size is 215/60R16 (which is really stretched)

the manual has 225/55R16 as another choice. is that for GS430's?

is it possible to have 245/50R16's on the stock 16X7.5 rims? my only question is front strut clearance.

anybody running a wider tire on stock rims?

I've been running that size tire on oem rims for 6 months and 4-6K and no issues what so ever.

That is smaller (I'm taking your word that it is indeed 3.75%) but it will also produce better acceleration and give a little better handling.
