Anyone try 225/35/19 and 245/30/19??
I'm thinking get 225/35/19 for front and 245/30/19 rear wit a set up 19x8.5 front and 19x10 rear with offset 35 all around. My friend said i stretch, bend, curve the tires then i can tuck the wheel and get more space. But not sure how it work anyone try this yet?

I think I vaguely remember doing 225/35/20 on a 8.5 width and a 245/35/20 on a 9.5 or 10 on my ex car. They are stretched but not "super-stretched" by any means....

The size is on the small side for a GS because of our big wheel wells.
As far as tucking and getting more space, it is not neccessary to do this to clear fenders on a GS (as long as you have the right offset), so this should not be the reason for picking this set up. If I wanted I could drop my car all the way slammed with my 295/25-20 on 11" wide rims and have no rubbing at all.
The size tire you are picking will be harder to tuck (if that's what you are after). This is because the overall diameter is way smaller than what most people use. The larger diameter the tire, the less drop required to tuck the tire under the fender. You would have to lower your car even more than someone with a 285/30-19, in order to start tucking your tires.
I just did some calculations.
Your 245/30-19 has an overall diameter of 24.787".
The stock GS with 225/55-16 has a diameter of 25.744".
Dude, your almost an inch smaller than stock with that set up !!!

I wouldn't do 265/30-19 in back cause the front tire will actually be 1/2 inch larger in diameter than in the back.

with that offset youll be fine with a 235 front and 265 rear. i have way more aggresive offsets. my offsets are in the low 20's all around. (VIP baby!!) you wont rub only because you have a pretty conservative offset plus the more you lower it, the more negative camber youll get to clear the fender. but you might still have to roll the fender.
