Default Tire Size - F Sport

2 questions...

1) Why are the F Sport REAR tires/wheels larger than the FRONT?

2) Any issues if you put the F-Sport wheels on a Non-F sport GS that are all the same size - 19x8?

Thanks

1) Staggered setup (larger in rear) is for better handling and grip. Only available for RWD.

2) AWD F-sport do not have this setup, so there should be no fit kent problems

I did not know the F Sport AWD used same size wheels on all 4.

I would be putting the F-Sport wheels on a "LUXURY" AWD GS
.
So I would have not fitting issues using all 4 with 19x8 - P235/40R19.
