Winter tire sets question

Hello. I am a 2006 g35 coupe 6mt owner since april.
My car is fitted with summer tires, but with a realy cheap brand, accelera, but I had to replace front left with another brand, Nankang Ultra Sport NS-II.

anyways, I've been looking into some winter sets, and on craigslist, I came accross a normal 18 inch staggered setup for g35, and 2 17 set ups.

The first 17 inch setup is from a g35 sedan, and seems all the tires are the same size, 225/55/17.

The other set is from a 350z, but it only says 225/55/17, and not sure if its staggered set up.

MY question is, is it ok to have all same size wheels/tires, all 4 tires, for g35 coup?
and also, Im pretty sure my car is equipped with sport suspension package, would the 17 rim from 350z or g35 sedan fit my car?

Thank you in advance!

You can run square wheel/tire fitment on your car, however I would recommend getting all four of the same brand and model tires.

another combination

Thanks for the reply

I just found out that the 18 inch dunlop m3 sets rear pair needs to be replaced, and there is a high chance that I'd be replacing the rear pair with blizzak lm60, only because the price is so good, and the lm60's have 10/32 left making them almost new.

so in short, if I go with this combo, front pair would be dunlop m3, rear would be lm60. could you tell me if this will be ok for just normal driving?
they are both performance winter tires, and would be stock 18 staggered setup for my g35 coupe.

People mix and match tires all the time, but I don't advocate this. If you can, invest in the same tires between front and rear.

Should really run a staggered fitment to keep the VDC happy. Most common combination is 225/50-17 front 225/55-17 rear.

for 18", you can go with 225/45/18 F and 245/45/18 R.......

i've also seen some people go 225/45/18 F and 225/50/18 R (narrower rear tire, better for snow traction).
