[BoloYang6]

Hi !

Im looking to get 245/45 all around (4 tires the same size) is it fine for my RS? Rim are the same size in RS?


Thank you guys for help!

Your fronts are mounted on an 8" wide wheel and your rears on a 9".

You'll need to get new wheels for either axle that match if you want to run the same tire size on all 4 corners.

Thank you! Can you let me know : when I will be looking for new rims for rear - what size I should look if I want 245/45/20 tires on them?

If it was mine I would put 275s all the way around... More rubber to the ground is better..

Where in NY are you? I have a stock set of wheels that I wouldn't mind swapping my front 2 for your rear 2.

If you are buying wheels you have 2 options in my opinion:

You can either get a set that matches the front dimension: 20x8 +35

or

Get a set that matches the rear dimension: 20x9 +27

The 245s would fit the 20x8 better, but you can mount 245s on 20x9 wheels, that's how my winter set up is.

Guys,


Currently im in Europe and unfortunately they dont have here 275 all seasons (they only got some cheap chinese rubers)


ChibiBlackSheep - I want 245/45/20 on all corners - it's fine to put 245/40 ruber on 9" rear ? Is it safe?



Thanks again guys!

Oh didn't realize you were in Europe.

If you were getting another set of wheels, I was just saying you could do 4 20x9 or 4 20x8

I wouldn't mix and match with 245s on different width wheels.

Hi Chibi,


I'm thinking of geting Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 - having RS can I put fronts and rear 20x9 rim? Will front not be too wight with 9" (I got 8" currently front)


Should I check offset on 20/8" now and It should be the same as 20/9" to work?



Thanks!

I gave you the offset dimensions up a little for the 20x9. 20x9 +27 will fit on all 4 corners, it's what is on my car in my signature.

But if you are dead-set on wanting 245s, I would 100% go with the 20x8 on all 4 corners. The 245 while it can be mounted on the 9" wide wheel, the lip of the wheel does stick out.
