Question on tires for GS430
I picked up a set of MRR HR2 19x8.5 35offset, Rears 19x9.5 45 offset
I already purchased a used set of 4 dunlop direzza dz101 245/35/19 but it turns out that 1 of the dunlop is bad so now I either have to find another used DZ101 with approximately the same tire wear or purchase a pair of something.
I was thinking of using the direzza 245/35/19 for the rears and getting some 225/35/19 for the fronts. The reason I'm going with the 245/35/19 is because according to the tire size calculator that gives me the perfect diameter to stock so it wouldn't alter my speedo.
Would the 225/35 be stretched on the 19x8.5? I'm not looking to go stretched
Would I have any rubbing issues with the front or rear? What would you recommend?
Thanks,
Ken

Why dont you just replace that bad Direzza? It wont effect your drive train since you are not all wheel drive. If the fronts are pretty worn or if there is more than a 3/32nd different then just rotate it to the rear so you dont get a pull. If you want to go with a staggered tire size that wouldnt be a bad idea also. I recommend you stay with the 245 since the side wall is already short and you're riding on 19s. The bigger the contact patch the better. I would hate to bend a wheel like that.
