  • 245/45/18 (coupe & vert...not sure if either {RWD/AWD} Gran Coupes can mount an 18" wheel)
  • 245/40/19
  • 245/35/20
Actually I went with the 20 because it is cheaper and easier to come across than 19”. Like he said above 19, 21 and 23 inch tires are very rare and usually require at least 2 days to acquire
