Thread: wrong size tires

I don't see an issue right now, it won't hurt anything to drive on them untill you get back and get ahold of the dealership.

Are the rear tires the same size or different?

Re-read your door sticker.

255/45/18 fronts and 225/50/18 rears are factory tire sizes.

yeah fronts are different, sounds like the dealer f'ed up

I don't even own a GXP, I just know more about them than the avg bloke on the streets.

I'm just giving the correct information, because someone else might see this thread and wonder the same thing as the OP, and they too will find that what we have said is correct.

I am not picking on anyone nor did I want you to cry because of the internet man making you wrong.

I felt my respones my fine, no criticism in it.

you can run 245 all around of you choose. If i was keeping the car stock and didnt throw the car around alot i would say 245 is fine all around (i know Fivefinger is happy i said that. lol) However for those of us who like to get aggresive with the car go 255 or bigger (up to 275's) up front rear is your choice but i wouldnt go over 245 in the rear. i cant confirm if 255's will work all the way around though.
