245 45 R18 all around on 07 G35 Sedan Sport Rims?
I am getting ready to replace the tires on our sedan. I am thinking about going with the General Exclaim UHP 245-45-18 all around. I have heard they have great grip and are affordable. I would love to go Potenza RE-01R in the same, but that is some big money for tires that have a tread wear of 140.
What are the implications of putting 245-45-18 on all four corners on the G35-S Sedan? Is it correct to assume that I still would not be able to rotate the tires since the rims sizes are different from front to back?
Thanks,

tire specs on the exclaims say they will work with rims from 7.5" - 9.0" at 245-45-18

i run 245/45 snows all the way around, it works, it fits.
the fronts will look a little bulged out compared to the back.
I like this look, looks a little more sportier. ALSO it will give u a little more of a "bumper" if u hit a curb, less chance of curb rash because the tire sticks out about 1/2 inch further then the rim. As g35_6gear said, ur handling goes down "slightly" because the side walls are curved a little and not as "stiff", i barely notice it when i jerk the wheel back and forth, but other then that they feel really good.
I am gunna run 245/45 in the front and 265/40 in the rear for summer tires.
if you want pics of the little "bulge" effect. let me know with a pm.
I am selling my 2 front Potenza 225/50/18's if any one is interested.
they have 200 miles on them so they are practically new.

this is true. the front size is a lil weird., then again u could get another set of 8.5s and run 8.5s on all 4 and solve this problem. it would be like GEE35X's setup.
getting rid of ur old rims might be a problem, and new ones are not cheep. but there are a lot of people "upgrading" there rims to after market ones and have the stock ones kicking around.

pics of 245/24 all the way around
here is the pics.
it was hard to get good ones so i tried to use a straight edge to see the bulge better.
there is only about half an inch difference but i can notice it when i walk up to the car
the tires are Hankook icebear w300's, and they are amazing in the snow
front
