Ok guys so finally got my wheels and tires mounted ended up going with sport coupe rims tires are some falkons 225/35/19 all around. Everything good so far except sensor light that is on which shortly will have the sensor mounted which should fix that proplem anyway my question is how do we go about rotating this tires ? Im aware things change when using staggered wheels on all wheel drive. Please advise how this works can i rotate or is there a certain way rotate also every how many miles?

I will be posting pics of set up shortly.

ok i'll be the guy to ask the dumb question............. why do you have 225/35/19's "all around" with staggered wheels?

I assuming you got the sport wheels which are 19x8.5 up front and 19x9 in the rear?


At any rate, in a staggered wheel setup, if the tires are symmetrical you can rotate them side to side. If they're asymmetrical, you can't ever rotate them (for hopefully obvious reasons)


and they're called Falken

Lol hey typo...well what do you mean why? Because based on my research on awd cars good keep same size all around...so texhnically they are not staggered however wheels are like u said wider . Question, you said side to side how about swaping front with rears?

If you have different sized wheels front and rear (which is sounds like you do) and the tires do not have a directional pattern, about the only thing you can do is switch the tires from side to side. Fronts stay on the front and rears stay on the rear.

But why 225/35/19 and not 225/45/19?

it's recommended to use non staggered wheels on AWD. you put the same size tires on staggered wheels. That doesn't make them not staggered. If you rotate them, your front will still be wider than the rear. I'm not too sure how that will effect the drive with same size tires.

Surf i got these wheels with tires so that reason ...is 225/45/ 19 better? I thought back rim is wider then front? Because 19x8.5 is front and rear 19x9 but now im confused how can i tell which one is the wider one visibly it looks like rear is wider...what is best size tires i am planing on changing them...but right now car feels great no shimmy no leaning side side i do want try keep it under the 3% difference in diameter cause right now im pushin it im like at 3.5% difference from factory spec...please advise

Why would you use staggered wheels with the same size tire? That's kind of goofy. If you wanted the same size tire all around, you should have used wheels that are the same size.

Also, 225/35/19 is way to small of a tire in diameter = 25.2"
Should be 225/45/19 = 26.97, which is closer to stock size of 225/50/18 = 26.86

But since you do have staggered wheels, you can use staggered tires if you use the right sizes to get you close to the same diameter.

My objective is not to obtain a staggered style. I bought these rims with tires from one members here, got a good deal and the tires have 80% life so bought them. With that said i understand staggered means different size in rim or tire, in my case rims wider but tires same all around. Again main concern is stay within factory specs due awd system.

But why use a tire size that is smaller in diameter in stock?

You should have obtained wheels that are not staggered if you are going to use the same size tires...

Why does that matter? I wante coupe rims on my sedan they obviously dont make them for sedan which is my wanted stick with infiniti rims any how what is ideal size on sedan with sport coupe rims? Im ok if they are different sizes as well again as long as im within the 3% limit in diameter...also can somebody explain difference in 225vs 245 etc i understand the profile could be 35 40 etc but what does 225 or 245 exactly measure? Sorry if it sounds dumb question thanks all help so far

225/45/19 front
245/40/19 rear

225 and 245 is the width of the tire. 45 and 40 is the aspect ratio of the width/sidewall.

so 225/45/19 = 101.25mm. overall diameter = 27in.
245/40/19 = 98mm. overall diameter = 26.7in.

These are recommended stock sizes for coupe wheels, and will be within your 3% variance.

Do it.

nitpicking here.

With staggered wheels, you can still technically rotate directional tires side to side assuming you want to incur the cost/headache of taking the tire off the wheel and remounting it on the other wheel

asymmetrical tires w/ staggered wheels means no rotation ever.
