It depends on the offset of the wheels. Without that, no one could tell you yes or no.....

If you have wider wheels and you can clear them I would go with the 245/285 combo. I think my bad experience with this set up was because I was mounting those wide tires on too narrow of a whee ( stock wheels )l. I learned the hard way. Wider tires belong on wider wheels. There is a reason those recommendations exist......in my experience

There's the Gram Lights 57FXX Pro and 57Xtreme, but I don't see a listing for 57Xtreme Pro. For a 19x8.5 and 19x9.5, there are a few offsets available for the F that can be mounted with ease. But in terms of tire size, if you can find a 285/30/19 size, many members here have recommended it. Because you are on stock suspension, I think the rear tire size of 285/30 will work well for you and you'll be glad to have some extra grip on both the front and rear wheels.

I know some of you guys been running 245 front and 275 rear on stock wheels, whats the long term update on that setup? Issues, benefits or decreased performance? Can this setup work with 08 wheels

OK, the only member of this forum that I know of that is (was) unhappy with wider tires on stock wheels was I8ABMR.

I am running Bridgestone Potenza S-04 on my stock '08 wheels, and have been for more than 2½ years. IMHO, it's the right things to do. The my F handles better, is more planted, and I am STILL very pleased with my decision

My thread on the change is here:

You are right i was wrong theres no such thing as lg 57xtreme (pro) i was wrong! Is just lg 57 xtreme, that being said

I have this set up with oem rubber Los specs son:
19x8.5 +38
19x9.5 +43

Like i stated oem stock suspension will roll pannels if necesary for better rubber, i want no rubb what so ever

You'll be fine with those specs and stock suspension.

Close thread.
