Hey guys, do you think it would be terrible to put 225/50-18 FRONT and 245/45-18 REAR?

Personally I dont like wider or thicker tires on the front than the back. The back should always be the thickest and widest because thats where the power is coming from IMO. Why not go with 245/45/18 all around? I have 245/40/18 F and 245/45/18 R

Yea I have a G coupe too. What if I put 225/50-18 all around? I was just wondering because I have a fresh set of 225/50-18s sitting in my garage. Maybe they'll promote a slightly smoother ride too? haha

eh..225 just seem too thin for the rear..even when I had my stock 17's I had 235/50/17 all the way around. 225 wont make the rear look that great and not to mention all of your tires will be slightly stretched

Yea, I agree that 225 is too thin for the rear. Which is why I was wondering if 225/50-18 in the front and 245/45-18 in the rear would be ok.

Those are the tire sizes that come standard on the G37 coupe 18's. I put those exact sizes on my 04 sedan and it fits fine. You'll be ok.

How is this working out for you? I have 225/45/18 F and 245/45/18 R.

I am thinking of replacing with 225/40/18 all the way around. will this be okay?

I have the same setup on my 03 sedan with 350z 35th anniversary rims.
