Good day all
Newbie to the forum here
from NYC
Looking for some advice/ input on new tires for my 2017 TUCSON LIMITED.
It has the 245/45/19 now - taking them off and replacing with 235/70/16 KENDA KLEVERs - maybe with a 20mm spacer as well
Anyone have any input to this ? experiences doing the same ?
THANKS !!!
Thanks for having me !

I already have the new tires and new rims
TIRES 235/70/16 KENDS KLEVER RT's
RIMS 16X7.5 black steel REFURBS 5 x114.3 44 offset
WHEEL SPACERS 20MM 4 OF THEM to give it a more wide stance and hopefully prevent any rubbing against the strut
GOT BRAND NEW TPMS SENSORS TO INSTALL AND NEW BLACK LUGS TO REPLACE THE SILVER FACTORY ONES.
Waiting for it all to come in the mail then going to my tire guy to do it all
I did alot of research on this and there is not much info available -- my main concern is that the tire will rub on the fender when turning but I guess time will tell and we shall see
Once I get this done I am making a video to inform anyone that desires to do this and the specifics that are necessary in order to carry this out
Input welcomed and advice truly appreciated
Thank you!!

It's only a 1.3" difference in diameter. Just jack up your car and then jack up one wheel to full suspension travel and measure that. Odds are it won't rub.
