GS 2012 on 19" tyre size question

[Pidu]

Has anybody with 19" wheels on GS 2012 on changed from 235/40/19 tyres to 245/40/19? Yes, I know all the implications so please lets focus on the question. TRD website recommends 245/40/19 for their rims for GS - not that I bought TRD wheels :-). Seems to me a tight fit, so prefer to check before spending hard earned cash.

what width are your rims?

Rims are 8.5". Had previously 235/40/19 tyre on same width rim and did not like the slight stretch.

For 8.5" rims the range is 225 to 255 with 235 to 245 the ideal. 

My fronts are 255/35/19 on 9" rims.

I think TRD is towards the higher end of ideal to achieve the widest look for the rim.

What offset are your wheels? Don't you have any rubbing of full lock?

[ColinBarber]

My rims are stock, I think they are -50 but my GS is an F with completely different suspension and hub set up so isn't comparable to what would work on your vehicle.
