255/35/19 Yea or Nea on our stock 19s?

Was not sure how to search this- I currently have the stock 245 fronts and 265 rears.. I think the sidewalls are 40ish or so

Please advise if 255s will work, front, rear or both- or is there no way around staggered sizes. Thanks!

Moe, you could run those on the front...however unless they were damn near free I'd pass!

In no world were 245/265 stock tire sizes. What wheels are you running? You've been a member here for 13 years and you don't know what tire sizes you have?

I don't drive the G much, my other cars get much more use. I do know I have spare sets of 225/45/19s and 245/40/19s... so clearly my 265 memories were from some other AWD coupes and sedans I buy tires for.

The deal on 255/35/19s got sold out, so no worries. My eventual hope is to trade the G coupe towards an 07/08 G35x "S" if possible. Need a four door now thats more reliable than the BS I deal with on the 4.2 V8s from Audi


I only use the 2007 wheels from the G, 19s- made by Rays I think. the cool forged ones that still look so awesome

The answer to your question is no. The factory 19's are 19x8 in the front and 19x8.5 in the rear (if I'm not mistaken) a 255 in the front would have a bulging sidewall and would not look or perform well. You could install 235's in the front and 255's in the rear.

The tire will fit up front, but you'll need a wider wheel than the o.e. one, its too narrow for a 255.
