Comparison
225/45 R19 vs 245/45 R19
Stepping from 225/45 R19 to 245/45 R19 keeps the 19-inch wheel but widens the section by 20 mm. This setup shifts overall diameter slightly from OEM.
The speedometer offset is small but measurable; worth keeping in mind if you watch the dash closely. More tread on the ground tends to improve dry grip and stance, with a small fuel-economy and clearance tradeoff. Overall the swap sits inside the safe ±3% diameter window, so ABS, traction control and gearing behave normally.
TakeReasonable performance-leaning swap as long as fender and suspension clearance check out.
Quick math: 245/45 R19 is 18.0 mm taller than 225/45 R19, shifting the speedometer by +2.63%.
