245-45-16 is perfect for the stock rims. I would run those size on all 4 corners.

I run 245/45/16 tires on stock rims all the way around. No problems anywhere. The diameter difference is less than 1%, so they won't screw up your speedometer.

Don't put 225/45 16s on. This will result in a wheel+tire diameter almost an 1 inch (20 mm) smaller than stock.

Yeah, what's wrong with those? I run them. So do a lot.

I think he said 225/45's but I assumed too he meant 245/25.
