Tire Size on Stock 18's
Yes, I've done searches, but most people have up sized their tire sizes from the stock 18" to +19".
Since I bought my G35 Coupe Sport Package used, the tires are worn out. I'll be keeping the stock 18" rim. The stock Pilots are 225/45R18 and 245/45R18 respectively for front and rear. Can I put 40 aspect ratio tires on these? Like 225/40R18 and 245/40R18? They seem to be easier to find.
Also, what are you opinions about mixing brands between front and rear tires?
Finally, it's probably retarded, but you can't have 225/45R18 and 245/40R18's right? Don't ask why.

Not very hard to find at all... You want hard to find (cheap)? Try my rear tire...
As far as the question, I don't see why lowering the aspect ratio would be a problem. Not sure though.

Why would you want to mix brands? It can be done of course but will change the handling and braking dynamics and not in a positive way.
I believe you can go with 245 40 18 fronts and 265 40 18 on the rear which will closely match the OEM tire height and should be okay with the 8" rims. Again I suggest checking with a good tire shop or the tire rack or discount tire web sites on this.
Good luck.
