Running a square tire setup with staggered stock 19's

Will i run in to any issues running 245-40-19 on all 4 wheels with the backs being 8.5 and fronts being 8 inches respectively.

will it look funny at all...having a real difficult time finding definitive pics of someone running a square setup on stock 19s

any wisdom or hopefully pic of similar setup would be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance

I'm pretty sure you've already been answered. It will likely rub in the front. That and it will look whack (taller tire in front). Do not recommend.

Doubt it'll rub if he's not lowered

Should fit just fine, but why run a square setup when the factory specs are staggered? It's not like you'll be able to rotate the tires since the rear wheels are still wider. Well I guess you can have the tires removed and remounted in order to rotate, but that's an unnecessary expense IMO.

Maybe you guys are right...the tire i wanted being only in 245-40 was my reason for wanting this setup. But might just look for another tire.

I've never liked the idea of running 225 in front and felt the 245/35 was more stable, with better control! With the 245s you won't have rubbing issues unless your offset is below the mid teens...OE wheels no sweat! Tires? Check out www.thetirerack.com
