Tire 245 for MY instead of 255 on Gemini wheels

[Jimmyparky]

Can the stock 19" Gemini wheel take 245/45/19 tire? I'm trying to get winter tire and seems there's more choices in 245's.

That size is 1.1% smaller than stock, so the speedometer will be negligibly off. The issue is that the Gemini wheels are 9.5" wide and 245mm is about 9.6" wide. The 255 tires are pretty stretched on the 9.5" wheel. Some installers might not install a 245 tire on anything wider than a 9" wheel.
