Nitto Invo size on a GS?
Is anyone running 295/35-18 and 345/30-19's on a GS? It's time for tires and I seem to remember someone saying they fit just fine but I can't find the thread anymore.
Thanks for the help.

I'm running Nitto Invo's on my 2012 GS.
295/35/ZR18 on front
345/30ZR19 on back
A little taller than stock, fit nicely in the wells and my car is lowered 1/2". No issues with rubbing regardless how spirited I get with the twisty stuff, nor with full throttle acceleration and testing a full hard stop. That being said, I wouldn't recommend them for someone running the 1/4 a lot. There are better tires for that.
The ride is nice, it's quiet, made it a different car. Looks a lot better too. You won't be disappointed.

I've never heard that before. Nor, have I had a problem with running different size tires.

I have the 295/345 combo. It is the right size to avoid the Engine Drag Control message which cracks the throttle upon higher rpm deceleration as the car thinks the rear wheels are skidding due to the non-stock ratio. This "problem" isn't a big deal, you can avoid it by not decelerating with high rpm (push in the clutch or shift up). I use my brakes to stop, not my clutch. I don't know if it affects automatic cars.
My car is lowered on cut bushings and it used to rub at full lock a little, but over time the tires wore down and the inner fender did as well so now it never rubs.
My Invos are 4 years old now with 32,000 miles on them and still going strong tread wise. They have great wet traction but nowadays they don't have very good dry traction. Can't blame them, they are old and hard now.
