Hi, im Looking for advice on lexus IS220D year 2009..back tires 225 45 r17 and front 245 45 r17..should the wider tires be on the back as it's a rear wheel drive or does it matter.

I used have the IS250, a great car. The wider tyres should be on the rear axle. Looks like somebody has messed up here.

Thought they were 225/45R17 all round, but it’s 245/45R17 on the back
