I currently have the stock 19 with 225/40/R19 front and 245/40/R19 in the back. I needed some new tired and somebody recommend 245 all around. Make it ez to rotate.. is this possible and ok for car? or the rims on the car are actually different size and they can't be rotate? Or should I stick with the staggered setup.
Thanks.
Thanks.

As for what you are asking for, the OEM system was designed for staggerd size tires, both in width and height. If you went for the same tire on all 4 corners, It would effect handling and most likely send your VDC into crazy mode!
Stick with the staggered sizes and move up to the reccomended sizes in this thread. The tires and wheels will fit better in the wheel well and give you a better overall look, not to mention the with a bit wider tire, improved handling.

You can run 245's all around without trippin the VDC. I have 245x35x19's on my OEM Rays. You can run the rear wheels on the front, all you need to remove that useless bolt from the front caliper/hub's. My wheels have been switched like this for about 5K miles now and have had no problems with the VDC. I too like the ability to rotate my tires since my rears usually don't last that long.
What bolt are you talking about?

It's weird what you coupe guys do the your rides.... reversing your staggered fit wheels and tires just so you can get more life out of them? Might as well get the same rim size all-around, cause you are defeating the design intentions of the staggered setup. To each his own. Have fun and enjoy your rides.
