^^I think Infiniti doesn't use the staggered setup on the xs models because the rears tend to wear faster than the fronts, since they can't be rotated. The diameter when new is not a problem, but the tread wearing out at different intervals would be.

 

So what do you guys suggest I do...try to find the xs back rims and sell these or just keep these?

 

Were the XS wheels closer to the fronts (8.5 in wide) or the rear? You could buy two wheels and sell the two that don't match. It seems to me that you could also just mount tires on your (wider) rear wheels to match the ones on the front. The only thing wrong with that is you could not (should not) rotate them front to rear. There are some 2012-2013 front wheels on eBay.

I think the back rims are 19 and the front are 18.5 so if I can fit the same tires on the back even if the rim is .5 wider I think that would solve my problem. I am just not sure if ican fit the same tire because the rim is a lil wider

 

no, they are all 19" wheels. The rear ones are 9 inches wide and the front ones are 8.5" wide. You can probably stretch the same size tire on both, a tire a little wider than stock on the front and less wide on the rear. Use some all seasons and then rotate them as you would with 4 equally sized wheels. I would check with the dealer or a tire store and ask for recommendations.

 

There is more difference than 8½ vs. 9 inches wide. The offset is different also The fronts are offset 43 and the rears 30. I would not rotate them front to rear.

 

If I buy 4 brand new tires I don't have to rotate them for a while so I'm not worried about rotating. I am definitely going for all season. Just don't know why to so with the rear since its a lil wider than the front. I guess I will find out from the tire shop. What a cluster f***.

 

The front offset is 43mm but the rear is offset 45mm from what I have read. Of course there is a lot of misinformation on the internet so that is why I would check with a dealer or tire store to ask for recommendations. You will need to find someone who is very experienced that you can trust, so good luck with that.

 

 

That tire will not fit on the rear wheels, it only can handle up to 8.5" wide rims. The rear tire size will easily fit on the front though. The rim width range is 8-9.5" on it. Check the specs on it here:

i called infiniti dealership and they told me that because the car is an x and the wheels are not the same front and back this could make the TPMS light go on.


i think i might just have to buy 2 rear wheels that are 225/45/19 just like the front. i dont see any other way around it.

 

That's weird, I have read it might make the VDC light come on. The TPMS system only works by monitoring tire pressure so I don't see how that system would be affected...

 

well he told me some other lights might come on as well..traction etc...man i hope i can find those wheels and sell my back ones.

 

After looking into this, if I were in your shoes I would get a 2mm spacer for the front wheels, run the 245 40 19 tires on all four and rotate as normal keeping the spacers with the more narrow wheels. I seriously doubt you would ever see issues and would at least give it a try.

 

i dont think the spacer would solve this issue..i am going to stop by the dealership tomorrow and see what they tell me. maybe they would swap out the back rims i have for reg with ones. since my rims are mint...fingers crossed
