I picked up a set of MRR HR2 19x8.5 35offset, Rears 19x9.5 45 offset.

Was wondering if anyone has 245/35/19 tires on 19x9.5 rims on their GS4XX? I was told this would give it a stretched look and was wondering how it actually looks so if someone has pictures that would help. Also if you have any rubbing or any issues?

I would like to go with the 245/35 tires as the tire calculator suggests that's the correct size to go with in relation to the stock 16s I without affecting the speedo.

Also, I was thinking about putting 225/35/19 or 235/35/19 on 19x8.5 for the front for a staggered look any preference on which size to go with?


I bought a set of Dunlop Direzza DZ101 245/35/19 off craigslist and found out later that 1 of the tires is bad so now i have to either find another used Direzza tire with about the same tread life or find a pair of something else.

FYI 245/35-19 on a 19x9.5 isn't exactly the most extreme stretch.

You could fit a 215/35-19 (or the narrowest 19" tire you can find) on a 9.5" wide wheel without many issues. I have 215/35-19 on my 19x10 right now.

I would run the 245/35-19 if I were you, and then downsize if you have any rubbing issues.

You might have to look into getting a spacer so the rear tires don't rub on the inside of the fender though.

Thanks for the input. I've never did stretched tires before so this will be a first for me. I'm more interested in how it looks.

It sounds like 235/35 on 19x8.5 would probably be normal then.

Pictures anyone???

245 on a 9.5 will be slightly stretched. Only do it if you like how it looks or if you need extra clearance. 19x9.5 +45 is very conservative and will fit no problem with almost any size tire.

I think the stretched look looks pretty cool but in terms of practicality of potential curb rash then its a trade off so I think for me a slight stretch would be

why stretch with such a weak offset? It will be all sunken in stretched....would look very uneccessary imo, but if you're stretching for the heck of it, go for it.

ide say dont stretch if u dont need to.

but yea 245 aint much of a stretch. i had 235 on my 9.5 once when i had my SC. mild stretch if i must say.

I wouldn't use bigger than an 8.5 width rim for 245. Stretched tires look like garbage. If the tires are staggered and the rear is 9.5 width, go with 285 in the rear. The side wall of the tire should always be vertically straight.
