No kidding 245 is a pretty narrow tire for the rears. What widths and offset did you end up going with for the CVT's?

And definitely pics when you get the chance haha.

Good luck with the install!

I had 225 on 9.5 and 245 on 10.5 wheels in my previous car. It was necessary to fit the wheels. No point in stretching if you don't need to, so make sure you make your measurements regarding wheel offset, width, and camber.

Personally, 265 on 10.5 is a happy medium between stretch and square.

A stretched setup that doesn't protrude the fenders look horrible.

Depends on the tire but 235 on 9 inch wheel may be within some of the manufacturer's recommended sizing. It will look barely stretched.

255 on 10.5 is a moderate stretch and I don't recommend it to drivers who do aggressive driving. Be sure to check tire pressure often.

Since your rears are going to be a more significant stretch than your fronts, I recommend either sizing up your rear or sizing down your front. Personally, I have OCD when it comes to uneven tire stretch front to rear, it looks silly.

What offset are your wheels?
