Default 245-40-19 and 275-35-19

has anyone tried 245-40-19 and 275-35-19 tires on their second gen GS? i'm thinking of switching to that size but im not sure if it will rub. i know these are a tid bigger than stock rolling diameter but i need more tire so i'll stop bending my 19" wheels

As the above poster has noted, I think it should be fine as long as it's not slammed.

I've had this size on my GS for +6yrs (last 4 sets of tires) and it does not rub at all in the back but I do get the occassional rub in the front when I back out on uneven slopes. There's no wear to the inner panels after 6 yrs. I had my speedo checked clocked by the electric radar signs that post your speed and its still within a mile per hour at 60MPH.
