Tire Question

My fronts are Falken 235/35/19 now on oem m359 (9"). I have a good deal on dunlops but only available in 225 or 245 in the front. Im afraid 225 will be stretched look and 245 will be wide and rub. My Falkens do not rub.

Should i get 225, 245 or just wait and find different brand in 235

Thank you for any help

How wide are the front tires, 8"? If so you can go from 215-245, with 225-235 being recommended. If you can fit 245 without rubbing go for it. 245 is only 5mm further in and 5mm further out than 235, that's about a fifth of an inch each side
