Would i be fine if i didn't stagger the tires and just go front size 245/45/20 all around ?

Just curious if it would affect stabilitrac or anything...

Rudy from Tirerack posted you could use the 245/45/20 on all 4 stock wheels. Yes that includes the stock rear 275/40/20's.

I recently bought my winter tires from tire rack. I went with Blizzaks LM60's 245/45/20's all the way around on factory RS wheels. From talking with Rudy from tire rack, he said that was the way to go since a narrower tire will actually slice through the snow better then the staggered sizes. They fit fine on the rears, even with the wider rim. As far as your question about if it effects anything...nope no issues what so ever. Hope that helps.

I did the staggered sizes, and had fun last winter. The car was real safe even with unplowed snowy roads.

Yes it will work and a preferred winter option.

so i can put 275's all around ? Not that i want to run the bigger size all around it's just the prices are out of control
for winter tires. $250 for a winter tire ? Gotta be kidding me.
