Switching to Coupe staggered on Sedan

First time poster here. I've gone over the popular thread on this mod, so here's my dilemma. I've got a 2013 Sedan Journey all stock...just picked up some coupe wheels (19x8.5 & 19x9 with 43 & 45 offset). I've read the best tire set up for this mod is 245/40/19 front & 275/35/19 rear. Would really like to ATLEAST be able to rotate front to rear to get the miles out of the rubber. In your opinion, if I got 245/40/19's all around, will the front vs the rear wheel look much different to eachother (stretch wise on side wall), or am I just being too picky ha ha! Thanks

You can run the 245s all around without any issues but should keep the 9" wheels in back, so to do a true 4 tire rotation you'd need to dismount/remount to get it right.

Yeah that crossed my mind aswell, thanks for the idea. Prolly end up getting old pretty quick I'm sure. Prolly just get 245's all around & keep my eyes open to see if somebody will trade for the rears lol.

On a side note, you guys that run staggered wheels on all season tires...how many miles do ya get on the rubber?

I ran some Toyo Proxes 4 Plus for about 30k miles on a 245/295 stagger (prior to running my current square setup) and if I hadn't got a flat and ended up w/ a crushed sidewall I would have gotten 40k easily, but at a pretty good sacrifice w/ grip.

Had to delete your thread about trading wheels, you'll need to post a WTT (Want To Trade) thread in the private classified section, this requires you have 10 posts and wait 48 hrs.
Thanks!

Good info, thanks for the details!
