STOP DRIVING AROUND WITH THOSE TIRE SETTINGS!! YOU NEED TO HAVE A SQUARE SET UP OR YOU WILL FVCK UP YOUR DIFFERENTIAL.. DO 245/40 ALL AROUND.
SERIOUSLY NEED TO DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING TO YOUR CAR. YOU COULD REALLY BE S.O.L. VERY UPSETTING TO SEE THIS HAPPEN... SMDH.

what's the wheel specs? Staggered?
If they are 19x9 all around then those tires won't work... I don't know how your friend did it but there are ppl with x's that get away with it some how but I'm sure it will affect the diffs over time..
I personally wouldn't take that chance..
I'm sure fellow x drivers will tune in... That sucks that you are having that issue.

How will it affect our diffs over time? Many of us have ran stagger wheels and TIRES for a good amount of miles and NOTHING is wrong. R32/33/34 all have similiar AWD systems and COME staggered wheels and tires.
I run 235/45/18 and 265/40/18 with NO PROBLEMS. I forget the 19 tire combo. i think its a 225/xx and 255 out back.
The best bet is to get the same size tires and call it a day. No headaches, no lights, no damage. Plus you can rotate them if you dont have staggered wheels ( extend treadlife).
I haven't seen someone blow up/damage there AWD system yet. When your AWD link blinks, it disables the AWD to prevent any damage from happening. If you want to go staggered wheels, then get RWD.
The 3% is most likely the difference on a RWD to not upset the VDC.

You do realize that a Square setup or a 19x9 alll around HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH the AWD system. We all can run staggered rim widths, its the TIRE SIZE that matters.

See my garage? See my car? I'm running a staggered set up...
If he's 19x9 all around with 225 and 245 won't work.... So it does matter.
Thanks for clarifying though... I really appreciate it.![Biggthumpup](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/smilies/biggthumpup.gif)
I forgot I'm still a noob.

What i'm saying is your focus on 19x9 or any width of the wheel does not matter. Its all about the rolling diameter of the TIRE. Its been a beaten down topic, the guys who run staggered wheels (yourself and I included) know what needs to be done, because it doesn't happen on accident. I learned my first time when i tried 235/40 and 265/40, but did some calcuations and found 235/45 is right on the money with 265/40 and stock tire sizing.
P-town, on the hand doesn't want to listen, so what can we do...

Agreed that it will not work.

It's not that I don't want to listen I'm getting conflicting advice I see guys with staggered setups and running fine my friend is one of those but I have more experienced users telling me otherwise I have no problem switching tires just wanna make sure Im not wasting money
Safest way to go. If you're running staggered then that's a different story.
Good luck!!
