Squaring Tires in 6MT

This is to seek input from this forum on concept of squaring the tires on my 6MT.

We have a stock 2013 6MT with 225/45R19 in front and 245/40R19 in rear.

To extend life on tires and allowing for full tire rotation, I am considering squaring the tires to 245/40R19 front and back.

If you have done this or have expertise, Pls advise your experience/advice and if stock wheels can handle it.

My intent is NOT to hurt the suspension or steering. I do not race and simply enjoy the heck out of driving this car.

Thx

Many have done the 245s all around on the staggered coupe 19s, it's only a 1/2" stagger so the tire mount will be proper on both wheel widths. But you should keep the wider 9" wheels in back so you still can't do a true four wheel rotation without remounting the tires

Dang it, I need to get my money back, that Evelyn Woodhead Speed Reading course was a bust.
