Tire Rotation for G37S coupe (staggered and lowered)
Hey guys,
Obviously with our staggered wheels (mine are aftermarket but nonetheless) we can't rotate our tires but we can swap the tires on the wheels to the other side. I know thiis will be helpful for the rear as they are cambered in and need it, but do I need to do it for the front? I don't see camber wear there but the toe was a little off when it was aligned so I'm sure they are worn in some manner (doesn't show though). The question is, will a swap even benefit them? I'm just thinking I'll do the rears and hope I get another 10k out of the fronts without touching them. Thoughts?

i noticed that my tires last every 2 years so every year i swap my tires side to side. im lowered on eibach and have 20's and i see more camber wear in the front then the back. i suggest you swap front and rear... it wont hurt. good luck

It depends on which tires you have as to whether you can even do this. You can't swap rear wheels side to side if your tires are directional unless you dismount the tires and remount them on the opposite side wheel. If they are asymmetrical, the inside is to be mounted toward the inside no matter where it's positioned so you cant flip it around on the wheel to even out camber wear.
If you're going to that trouble of dismounting swapping sides and remounting them the other way around to try to get more mileage out of your tires (directionals), I'd go ahead and do fronts and rears.
