Islandbeef, I plan to put All Season tires on my RWD 2015 GS350 F Sport when the current OEM tires need to be replaced. Because no one currently makes All Season tires in the OEM sizes for the staggered sizes, I will use the same sizes tires that you currently have on your car. Have you experienced any adverse effects from the slight wider and taller tires?
No adverse effects at all. One benefit, the prices of the increased size tires are lower and more plentiful in selection. Look at Discount Tires website and compare the OEM staggered sizes to the larger staggered sizes.
I needed new tires badly and went with 245/40/19 fronts and 275/35/19 rears since 265 rears were unavailable. I was already lowered on tanabe nf210s with 15mm/20mm spacers. Do you guys think I may run into problems or should I be ok?

I just pulled the trigger on 245/40 and 275/35 and I'm lowered on taxable nf210's with the same 15/20 spacers. I should get the call back today. I'll post my results for others.

How are the 245's/275's working out for you if you have them installed? I have a set of Pirelli summer tires on my 2015 F-Sport RWD and was considering going with All Season's a few months back. When the guy at Discount Tire told me my Pirelli's were pretty much brand new on all 4 tires, I put the All Season swap out on hold. DT offered to give something like $36/tire towards trading in to a new set. The current tires are $200+ a piece. I live in NC where the winters aren't too harsh so I should be fine with Summer tires for now. I do remember them stating when they looked it up on their systems that I could get a slightly narrower tire in a set of 4, staggered. I really like the wider look, so when I'm ready to replace the Summers with All Seasons, I'm going for the wider 275's.
New tires installed today (Michelin AS3 Plus) in 245 and 275 widths. On the short drive home they feel more comfortable but still held up well in corners. I'll post updates as I get more miles on them.
Hi CouveGS,
How is your experience so far with this tire size setup? I am thinking about doing the same and was wondering how is handling, comfort and road noise? Thank you!

LoveLove the new setup. Ride is slightly more comfortable while handling is nearly as capable. The old tires felt jittery and didn't track well on the freeway. The Michelins are smooth and comfortable while offering great grip on back roads. Drove in some rain and we're fantastic as well.
Noise is probably a wash if slightly better. Heard the Continentals DSW06 are more comfortable and quieter.
