if you have a 5at with an S package then all ur rims and tires are the same size from the factory,(7.5x18) if this is the case, size doesn't really matter that much as long as they are all the same. and if you get 4 of the same size tire, thoe only thing that will change is ur speedo. and maybe to look of the tire on the rim.

so we all have been giving you bad info, HAHA sry about that.

go out and look at ALL 4 tires and come back and post ur sizes, to clarify to us, so we won't give u bad advice.

-1, the 5AT with S has staggered rims, 18x7.5 front, 18x8.5 rear.

mm good to know, i thought it was only the 6mt with staggered rims and the XS and 5atS had the same 7.5 all around.

I do have a 2008 XS 5at..and I had no idea the rims were not the same size because all the tires are the same size 225/50 18. So does that mean they can't be rotated as well? Because I just had them rotated.

no. they are all the same size on ur car.
if you have an X or an Xs the rims are the same all the way around.
so you only have to shop for one tire size, which makes ur life a lot easer then mine

I just called the Infiniti service and they ran my vin..car has 7.5 inch wheels all the way around..8.5 was not an option for my car..so I guess that clears that up.
