Default 2015 GS F Sport AWD - Tire Size & Spacers ???
Anyone on stock springs increase all four (4) wheels up one tire size to 245 40 19 on an AWD 2015 GS350FSport and add spacers ??? Want to decrease wheel-well gap and push tires out to look more flush from the side ???

@Jlaganojr Many people have upsized to a 245 tire without issue on both 18" premium/lux wheels and and 19" F-Sport wheels. Here are some helpful threads:

I'm going to bump this. OP was asking about 15mm spacers and 245s on an AWD with stock springs, which is a combination I have also not seen and am also curious about.

At stock offset, 245/40/19s will rub at full lock. OP wanted to see if the combination of spacers and taller tires would obviate the need to lower the car.

I don’t think it rubs. @jonathancl has 245s and 15mm/20mm all around and he’s lowered. If that works why would stock awd height not work?

Are the 19s wider than Base/Lux 18s?

RWD F-Sport wheels are 9" wide in the rear - so an inch wider than base/lux stock 18s which are 8 inches wide.

OEM F-Sport RWD: 19x9 rears (19x8 up front)
OEM F-Sport AWD/Lux 19" wheel: 19x8 all around
OEM Base/Premium/Lux 18" wheels: 18x8 all around
OEM Base 17" wheels: 17x7.5 all around

I'm running the F Sport staggered 19" rims with 245-40-19 all the way around all 4. I have no rubbing at all.

Thanks.

Yeah there should’t be rubbing on AWD F Sports since they’re the same width as Premium/Lux @panyo64

I’m running H&R DRM 15mm/front and 20mm/rear on my F Sport RWD.

245 tires all around on stock 19 rims.

245/40/19 tires? Stock springs and suspension? No rubbing right?

Also anyone running 19"'s staggered and stock suspension, notice any handling difference what so ever when installed spacers?

Correct.

RWD is supposed to be staggered but the dealer I bought it from put squared.. I don’t mind honestly. These are a fresh set of tires so I’m not gonna go replacing them. When it is time to replace I’ll go 245/40 front and 275/40 or 35 back.

Spacers should make it handle better as it increases the cars track. Whether you can really notice the difference? Idk
