Staggered Rays on G35x
This question has been answered many times throughout the years but i cant find a definite or straight forward answer.
If I am getting an oem set of 19" rays 8" in the front and 8.5" in the back and I already have 240-45-19's for the back, what would be the closest to the same rolling diameter for the front?
Just looking for what size tire i need in the front.

Keep in mind, while the electronics limits are 3-5%, there are mechanical limitations as well.
The transfer case will experience more slip than usual due to differences in rolling distance. It is designed to take some as in a turn, the front wheels turn a larger distance than the rear wheels. Slip translates to heat, and that's never good for clutch systems. You may want to consider increased fluid changes to your transfer case here.
However, in 50/50 split situations, the extra diameter and rolling distance while in a straight light needs to be absorbed somewhere. Fortunately for us, this situation usually exists when the tires are on low traction surfaces such as snow and ice. I would also think that someone engaging snow mode probably has a set of OEM wheels as their winter wheels and isn't doing so on 19's. Then again, I could be wrong.
Still, it's in your best interest for your vehicle to try and match overall diameters front and rear as best as you can. You make even want to consider selling the rear wheels and buying another pair of fronts to have the same wheel diameter and width front and rear.

some of these guys replying are only speaking in terms of VDC and not AWD since they own RWD models. just saying... =P
245/40/19 is your best bet all around.

Okay. I'll thread jack a bit haha I have 18x8 and 18x9 +32 offset all around rims. I was thinking buying a set of 225/40/18 for all 4 rims. Is that okay for my X? I looked at http://www.rimsntires.com/specspro.jsp and if I put 225/40/18 tires the max width for rims it will allow me is 8.5".
Should I be okay with that size of tires? 225mm is 8.5 something so it's just a tad stretch for the 9" right?
