2011 G37xS Coupe -- Rim Questions
I got the sport 2011 g37xs with the new rims.. all 4 have 225 tires on them. I was curious if it would be okay to put larger size on the back then the front to stagger it.
Anyone ever do it. I just hate little tires in the back of the car..
any advice or input would be appreciated. Thanks

correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought staggered meant the difference in width? (i'm really not trying to correct you, I just want to understand myself)
from what I heard on this website, the width difference in the rims/tires don't matter with the awd system, what matters is the rolling diameter. The rolling diameter just have to within 5% of each other.
For example, if you have 19 inch front, your back should be (since you obviously don't want to get a smaller rim) with in 19.95inches.
So to sum it up, the larger tire size should work if it's with in 5%.
I don't remember where I read this on this forum, but I'm just quoting somebody.
Please feel free to correct me if anyone has the right information.
