What tire size to run

I have a set of staggered 19's from my ex 2002 maxima.
I have and 05 G35x

If I remember correctly they are;
19x9.5 and 19x10.5
current tire set up;

front 245/35ZR19
Back 275/30ZR19

What is the best tire set up to run for this to work on my AWD car , if it does work?

No expert here, but wouldn't the offsets be completely unsuitable given that they come from a FWD car?

I don't know anything about the offsets, but you should run at least 275 on the front and a 295 in the rear. I have that setup on 9.5 x 9.5 track wheels. Don't go small!

Good luck running those sizes on a 05 G35X.

Yeah, they seem a bit short for an awd. Typically see the same size all around on an X to avoid trans case issues. On the rwd a 245/40 f and 275/35 r.

So I can run this setup as long as they are both at 35 width?

that set up is way too tall for our sedans and doesn't look very good. I've had 245/35/19 front and 275/30/19 for years without any issues whatsoever. It is the most popular set up on sedans.

OP, if you have the X, you should consider getting same size wheels and tires all around. Otherwise you will have some issues with your AWD system.

You can run 18x8.5 +30 to +35 offset with 235/45/18 or 245/40/18 all around. Or 19x8.5 with 245/35/19 or even 245/40/19 if you want the extra cushion and don't mind the fat looking tire on your wheels.
