Is this OK?

I just purchased a 04 G35X, with 235/55 17 on rear, and 215/55/17 on front. Owner was widow, selling hubby's car. so no real info. Can I keep this setup? Will it negatively impact vehicle? I think overall tire diameter difference is approx. 1/2" Thanks

That's a bad combo, over 3% difference front to back, you need to be less than 1% and much closer to zero is best. I'd just get 235/55/17s on the front to match the rear and call it a day. Hopefully your AWD system is OK.

Thanks

Thanks. I just got some 215/55/17 for the rear. Her brother said he put the rears on, to sell the car. It hadn't been driven like that..So all should be well. Thanks

My set up
225/40/19 F = 26.1" OD
255/35/19 R = 26.0" OD

not an issue at all.
Sorry brother, can you explain me what means OD?

Someone help me out.....

The Nissan GTR has a:
ATTESA E-TS® All-Wheel Drive (AWD) with patented independent rear-mounted transaxle integrating transmission, differential and AWD transfer case
Except for the rear mounted transaxle, it sounds like it is similar to the same setup that we have on our G35X's.

The factory GTR tires are:
Front- 255/40R20 with an overall diameter of 27.9"
Rear- 285/35R20 with an overall diameter of 28"

Factory G37 Coupe 19" tires are:
Front- 225/45R19 with an overall diameter of 26.9"
Rear- 245/40R19 with an overall diameter of 26.8"

If this works on the GTR at speeds of 180mph, is it safe to say that the staggered coupe wheels will work on ours? They have the same amount of difference though it is in the reverse order. According to some on this thread, the larger tires on front is desired.
Man I'm in the same situation, same wheels and set up was offered to trade four my 18" enkei wheels, I really want too since I've seen this coupe wheels on a 06 G35x and it looks sick, but I'm afraid running that kind of set up might bring me problems. I'm trying to read the hole thread just to see if I can find any input or advice. Thanks in advance.
