I wonder if under a full load (full tank of gas and 4-5 passengers) the front wheels/tires get damaged during normal driving (uneven pavement situations)? The load rating for 245/30/20 tires is under specification for the GS.

Stormforge, do you get any rubbing when you turn the wheels to the sides? do they rub with the interior fender wall? I have some rubbing issues in the front even with my 19" wheels with 245/40 tires when i turn.

he won't have those rubbing between his overall diameter are stock spec

you have 245/40/19, which is 1" overspec from stock, and it's proven to rub the front and rear part of the front wheel well when you make hard lock turns. it's no biggy

if you go with same offset, same wheel size, same tire size, and same drop, it will work for your 350 RWD.
