Will these tires work for Sedan?

My sedan is lowered on 350Z revised suspension & sitting on the OEM 19" G35 Coupe rims, I just ordered Falkens FK-452s

Front = 245/35/19
Rear = 245/40/19

I want to mount these tomorrow as my stock tires are done but wanted to make sure these wouldn't give me any problems, please LMK ASAP cuz I still have a chance to exchange them. Thanks for the help guys.

Just an FYI, if you go with 245/40/19, 255/35/19 you'll have to get a different tire, because Falken 452s don't come in 255/35/19. Not knocking that F/R combo (considering that rear size for my next setup), just know that you'll need a different brand tire.

You can run 245/40/19 F/R, that's what I've been running for over a year with no issues (occasional rub in the front on very steep inclines). I'm lowered on Eibach Pro Kit springs (-1.1"F/R).

I think some guys run 245/35/19 on all four corners too to prevent from rubbing in the rear. I don't have a camber kit and have never rubbed in the rear with the Falkens.

I see, well if I did mount the set up I have now will it create any issues? I wouldn't mind exchanging them but I need to ship them back & didn't feel like going through all that, if it's going to be a big issue then I guess I have no choice though.

Arggg, just called Edge Racing, the only other choices I have with Falkens are

Front = 245/40/19
Rear = 255/40/19

or

Front = 245/35/19
Rear = 255/40/19

I think people run these on the coupes with NPs but would this work on the Sedan? CandlestickPark, I asked about 245/40 all around like you have but he said the car is intended for staggered & I won't get the full performance of the car... what should I do? Heh

UPDATE:

Decided I'ma keep the 245/35's & mount them on the front & ordered 255/35's Kumho's for the rear. I don't like mismatching tire brands but this will work till the next time I order new tires. Thanks a lot for the help guys, I greatly appreciate it.

i may be missing something here, but i don't see the point in running 245/255. i like staggered too, but to the naked eye, you won't tell any difference. it would only make a difference if you have the staggered rims maybe 8 in front and 9 in the back, but if they are the same width, 245/255 is silly, might as well go 235/265 or 225/255 and that amy look better.

Dude you should have asked before you ordered.


theres no reason to go with a 35 series sidewall..

just seems like you orderd a wierd size to me...



And as far as not gettin the full performance of your car if you dnt run staggerd tires....hes kinda just blon smoke up your ***..


You can run 245 all around.

Yea, I should have asked... I'm running 245/35 F & 255/35 R right now & I really like it so it's all good. I'll get a full refund for the tires that I return minus the shipping so it's coo, I appreciate it though. Thanks.
