245’s on F type S fronts instead of 235’s??
Greetings. I’m currently shopping for gently used winter tires (western Canada) for my 2015 F Type S. I found a decent deal but the fronts that are available are 245/35R20’s as opposed to the 235/35R20’s currently on the carbon blade wheels.
After all that, my question: Can I use the 245’s on these wheels? Any specific reasons why not? Thanks.

Pretty sure all F-Type 20" wheels have/had 255/35ZR20 front tyres, I know my MY 2015 S did.
So OEM front tyres are 255 not 235.
Assuming you actually have the 255s and not 235s I can see no reason why 245s would be a problem.
The only (slight) downside would be a fractional reduction in grip due to the slightly smaller contact patch.

And sidewalls would be "in" further so the risk of kerbing the wheels increases.
