Default Going from Staggered Setup to One Size?

Hi all! We recently picked up a 2017 RC350 Fsport that has the staggered set up. Looks like I will need to purchase tires soon, so I am considering going to one tire size all around, assuming the wheels support the same dimension. I tried doing a search, but nothing came up. Any concerns?

I have a 2015 rwd f-sport, that being said, I went from a OEM staggered setup to aftermarket wheels and a square setup. I'm on a 20x9 with 245/35/20 all around, you'll need to make sure all your rims are the same width to run a square setup. I have zero issues and only went to a square to be able to rotate my wheels. Don't forget to calculate the speed difference if you're doing different aspect and diameter ratios.

Thanks for the reply Jason712. I was not looking at going with aftermarket wheels, just keeping OEM and one tire size all round. With that, any suggestions? Just go with what the fronts have for all four? I think they are 235/40/19 - not sure off the top of my head.

If OEM is your plan I would suggest getting the same width of rims all the way around. OEM staggered is 19x8 in the front and 19x9 in the rear, you could look for used rims to have 19x8 or 19x9 in all four corners. I know the awd models have 19x8 and 235/40/19 all around. I have no insight on putting the same size tires on an OEM staggered rim setup, I think it's not recommended. Me personally I would keep the staggered OEM or get matching rim sizes all the way around, then get same tire sizes.

Great information! Exactly what I was hoping for when posting the question! I never have had the staggered setup and was looking at it from a maintenance/cost perspective in regards to being able to rotate the tires. Great options to consider. Thank you!
