Did they mix up my tires and wheels? The 2 fronts look like this and the rears look good. Just got new tires put on last week.

The sizes are correct, I double checked a million times


​​​05 coupe with 225/40/19 fronts and 245 rears

 

Previous owner may have bought a used set of 19"x8.5" rear OEM rims and put them on the front. The front rims have a notch on them to prevent installing them on the rear, but I think you can install the rears on the front. The stock front rim with the OEM 19" package is 19"x8", so it's 1/2" narrower than the stock rear rim.

What size tires were on your fronts before you put these new tires on?

 

Tires aren't big enough for those rims! Factory came with 225s in front and 245s out back, you could easily run 245s on all four corners...Gary

 

The fronts were also 225 before with the same issue. Kinda late now that I got my new tires and they're only a week old.
I'll keep what Gary said in mind for my next set though. Will this cause any issues?

 

An easy way to tell if the front and rears are mixed up is to look on the inside of the wheel around the lug nuts. You'll have to remove the wheels from the car to check.

The 19" x 8" FRONT wheel has deep "spaces" in the areas between the lug holes. The 19" x 8.5" REAR wheel is mostly flat between the lug holes.

Waaaay back when your car was new, there was a random bolt attached to the front rotors. This was to prevent you (or a well intentioned mechanic) from mistakenly mounting the rear wheels to the front of the car. The front wheels have space to accommodate this "special pin" on the front rotors.

Most of the time that bolt gets tossed when rotors get replaced, or you want to run wheel spacers, or aftermarket wheels, or the car originally came with 17" wheels that are actually the same size.
