Default can i have 245's for the rear?? please help quick

i need new tires, and i remember someone telling me to get 245's for the rear.. and i was like hell yeah sweet. then someone else told me that if i get 245's in the rear i need to change to front to or else my balance is off or something else....

is it possible to change it without doing the rear?? thanks.

Unless you are getting Honda OEM S-02s, the most proper size to maintain OEM stagger for the rear tires is 245/45/16. That is while maintaining the OEM 205/55/16 in front.

I've learned this lesson over the past few days!

Another thing is try not to mix brands of tires between the fronts and rears.

If you go to any other tire other than stock you should run the 205/55R16 and 245/45R16 for the best handling set up.
If I can help let me know.
