Are both 225/45's & 245/40's compatible on my wheels?
I have a 2008 g37s, recently got a flat on my front tire.
Been checking the tire sizes and on my car they are 245/40/19's all the way around.
When I check the interwebs I get a lot of places saying 225/45/19's for the front and 245/40's for the rear, but then a few others just say 245/40's.
Can I swap out my 245/40's in the front with new 225/45's? Without changing the wheels? Will I run into any issue doing this? Will the car handle better with 225/45's in the front? or 245/40's?
Thanks everyone.

As for handling, it will be better over all with the wider footprint on all four corners 245/40. The 40 series tire will have a slightly stiffer sidewall than the 45 series for improved handling as well
