Default Need front Tire Size ASAP- too confusing

I've searched and read through these forums time and time again and everyone gives different information with regards to front tire NON-OEM sizing. When my rear S-02's wore out a few months back I replaced them with Toyo Proxes T1-S sized 245/45 ZR 16, they were a little unstable at first, but once they broke in I love them.

From the searches I found it obvious that 245/45 was the correct rear size to use when going with something other than the stock S-02's. I need to replace my front S-02's with the Toyo's but I'm hearing mixed views in regards to their size. Should I be looking for a 205/55 ZR16 or a 225 front tire??

Please help!

There is nothing weird about the FRONT tire sizing. Go with what's printed on the stock tire for all aftermarket tires.

Thanks xviper- a few people said that but some others disagreed.

But I'll take your word for it in a heartbeat- thankyou. I'll see you at Fall Colours next weekend!!! Have a safe trip down to Maryland from Canada.

If I can help with the tires let me know. xviper is right on the size. Rear you should do 245/45R16 front stays the same.
