GS RWD staggered to Sqare!!!
I have 2014 GS 350 RWD with staggered GSF rims that I replaced years back. Current tire sizes are Rear 265 35 19 Front 235 40 19. I assume rear rims 19 x 8.5 and front 19 x 8 ?
Since this is a RWD square is doable. My question is:
1/ Is it possible to go square on GSF wheels , I like my rims and don't want to change them!
2/ What tire size is recommended?
wondering if anybody has done what I am trying to do. I truly appreciate your feedbacks. I have to buy a new set Asap!

On my 450h, that's RWD it's 18" x 8.5 all around, 235 45 18.
I think 265 35 19 is too wide and will rub up front. The only way to know for sure is to take your rear wheel off, put it up font, check clearance turning it lock to lock. The 235 40 19 for sure will fit on the rears, but you need to also swap it to check if offset is to your liking.

I think you meant you have the GS F Sport Staggered rims which are 19x8 w/ 235/40/19 in the front and 19x9 w/ 265/35/19 in the rear.
You could put 245/40/19 on all 4 rims as they would fit both 19x8 and 19x9 rims.

What Final4GS said you have GS F Sport staggered and not GSF. The question is are you going to square to be able to rotate? if so then you will need a square set of wheels, meaning either all fronts 19x8 +45 or all rears 19x9 +60. Reason being I am not sure if the 19x9 +60 will clear the rotors up front. so you can test fit to make sure..if they do clear then you could do a 245/40/19 tire on all for but keep in mind that when you do rotate and the rears are on the front it will look sunken in.

@ALILEX You can certainly run a square tire setup with your staggered wheels. Just be sure the tire specs will fit...most importantly rim width and overall rolling diameter.
The 245/40 tire size mentioned by fellow member @Final4GS will fit both your 19x8 front and wider 19x9 rear wheels. Helpful too showing rim width & other helpful specs on 245 vs. 235 tires: https://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Tire...ismetric=False

I currently have a squared setup on my 2016 GS RWD with GSF rims runs perfectly fine. Running on 245/40/19 Continental DWS06 no inside rub. Definitely wanna be careful what tires you use. Clearance can be tricky
