I know there have been detailed threads before on the topic of tire size changes, but I have what I hope is a simple(?!) question, if anyone can help. I am thinking about replacing the tires on my '07 XLR-V. The rears are no problem to replace with the stock size, but the fronts (235/45/19) are not available in all tire brands and categories. I am thinking of switching to non-run flats (I know there are differing opinions re that, but I have decided to go to a softer-riding tire). I am wondering if anyone has experience with increasing the fronts to 255/40/19 (same as rears), or as a second choice, 245/45/19? For either of these sizes, would there be any clearance issues, suspension or fender, including at full lock with driver and passenger and a cornering suspension loading? I would be using the stock XLR-V wheels. I would appreciate any advice anyone may have to give.
