Hey guys...I need to know if I can run the 19x9 in the front of my gs. I plan on going with the 19x10s in the rear, which I know I can run. When I tought they had 19x8.5 I was going to go with 245-35s and 285-30s now I have no idea. 19x9 with stretch the 245-35s, right? I wanted to have a flat sidewall and a wider tire in the rear than the normal 275s, hence the 285s in the rear. Not sure if they will rub with the 9" front, etc...

Here are the S-03s specs (Planned tire)

This is what I think will be the closest set-up:
255/35ZR19 (front) 285/30ZR19 (rear)
Michelin Pilot XGT Z4

With the 9" width in the front and 10" width in the rear,will this cause any rubbing etc in the front? Thats the basic question.

I currently am using the Eibach lowering kit, but plan on going with coils next summer.

Ever since i've been on this board, i don't think i've ever heard of anyone going with more than 245 in the front? Maybe 250, but 255 is stretching it though.

Well, if I go with the 245-35 and 285-30 S-03s, will I have a problem with the front tire streching and changing the overall diameter by much? Right now, both tires are at 25.7" which is almost stock. I just am worried of changing the speedo calibration in favor of the dealership I put on avg a total of 25k miles a year.

mike,

245/35/19.. should be ok...llike gsnav said, i have not seen /heard anyone her with 255 on the front either. as your calcualtion reveals, the overall diameter is the same, at 25.7"

i have 18x9 on 245/40/18, with 1.4" drop on front, no problem at all

Hey Mike? Just do the math. The 9" wheel is 225mm's wide and the tire you are proposing(245mm) for the front is a perfect fit....It will stick out 10mm on either side of the wheel which is ideal....No worries...or rubbing...Tiny
