2006 Infiniti G35 coupe 5AT
I just got some 19inch Axis Penta Rims and they are staggered.
Will I be able to put 245/40/19 Blizzak Snow Tires LM-25 all around on these rims without affecting anything? and Will they fit fine?

Depends on the size of the wheels, how low you are (if you are), and the offset of the wheels.
No one will know if a 245/40/19 will fit your wheels because you have not given complete wheel specs of the wheel, nor have you mentioned if you are lowered or not.
However to answer your other question of "will it affect anything" the answer is YES. From the factory, g35's have been given a staggered tire set up. Changing this to a unified tire size will affect the handling characteristics of the car. It will also raise the front of the car slightly, as there are minute differences in tire circumference between 245/40/19 and 225/40/19 (the OEM tire size used for rays in the front). Also because of this difference in circumference, there's a likely chance your speedometer to be slightly off. Assuming the offsets and your wheel width are the same as the OEM rays, you'll probably be able to fit a 245/40/19 all around, and it might serve great purpose being able to rotate your tires for winter wheel's sake, however, your car will not feel the same if you change the tire size from OEM spec. It also may or may not affect your turning circle, but I can't say for certain if you will rub on full lock with that tire spec.
Other members will be able to chime in for more opinions, but there's my 2cents.

You can run 245s on all four corners if your rim width sizes aren't too different like 19X8 (F) and 19X9 (R)! How about offsets, are they mid 20s or higher. And you thought you was asking a simple question.

Or, if you are running stock brakes, snag a set of OEM 17" or 18" rims off craigslist for cheap and buy 17" snow tires.
Price difference in rubber alone would probably pay for the different rims, and running 205 or 215 width snow tires will be a hell of a lot effective (and cheaper) than running 245 series snow tires in 19"
But yeah, you won't look cool, but it's more practical

I ask because I replaced my front tires, and the shop (Midas) put 245's up front as well, so now I have same tires all the way around.
It has not affected the car at all, at least not in any way that I've noticed. Granted I'm running fully stock with the 6MT Sport Suspension and 19's that came with the car.
edit:
According to a online Tire calculator, the difference is minimal--less than 3% and should be fine for normal driving; 2.41% to be exact. Anything over 3% is not recommended.

The above website is a good tool if you ever want to upsize your wheels. I use it every time I want to buy aftermarket wheels and tires.

Why not? If it is a small stagger than it definitely won't matter.Originally Posted by PLENUMCOUPE

Its literally a 20mm difference in tire size, and exactly 2.41% differential which falls under safe driving conditions. (over 3% difference is considered unsafe).
I will probably not rotate the four tires back-to-front just to be safe, but running with the same size tires all the way around should be ok for the most part.

Depends on the stagger. Doing this with the oem 19" rays is perfectly fine.Originally Posted by PLENUMCOUPE
If u don't care about ur sidewalls matching then go for it

Yessss of course it's perfectly fine. Ur sidewalls will not match tho. To some people that is important.

I.e. 245/40's. They will match exactly, although the rear wheel is wider than the front, but you can hardly notice the 20mm difference. I don't...
I understand the wheel width difference, but tires are made to stretch to accomodate a certain range of wheels, and the difference in this case is very minute. It would be a different case if you were running 8" wide fronts and 10" wide rear wheels.

Bro. A half inch difference in rim width will show a difference in the tire sidewall. I have seen it in person. It just doesn't match.

But not my much. It really depends on the tire and rim. Half inch may be a lot to some, or not much at all depending on the application. Originally Posted by PLENUMCOUPE

I have seen it as well (used to have staggered 20's on my other car). but we're talking about the stock 225's and 245 tires on the G-coupe here.
I will tell you, from visual inspection of my G35's tires now with 245's all the way around there is no noticeable difference in the tire sidewall size. Yes I had 225's in the front before and its hardly noticeable switching to 245's.
Remember that 1" is 25mm, so half an inch (~12mm) will be hardly noticeable unless you have some crazy or irregular wheel/tire combo.
