Help Winter setup
Winter setup
Hello everyone, just recently purchased a 2013 G37S 6mt. It's snow time now, and my truck just decided to quit on me lol. I'm looking to find out if I can run a 225 snow tire for all 4 corners, for rotational purposes. I haven't found much information regarding this. Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance!
I have a coupe rwd. I understand the front and rear rims are different size.I own a tire machine so remounting isn't an issue. I also wanted to know if that setup would work because of the footprint being more narrow and better overall in the snow

I doubt that you'll be able to fit a 225 at the rear on the 19" OEM rim. If I were you I would look into downsizing to a 18" rim with 225/50 tire on all four corners. The increase in tire sidewall will give it a much comfier ride than the 19" and you'll have a larger range of tires to choose from.
Ya makes sense, figured I'd ask anyways lol. The tire rack prices for 18s is just more then I really care to spend on just a winter setup. Worst case I'll do It, just weighing options. Thanks for the advice though
The widest recommended rim for a 225/45/19 is 9" so you'd be OK going w/ that size. Here's a great resource when checking new tire sizes

Scroll down about 2/3rds and use the "An ideal rim-width calculator"

I have an xs coupe and put 225 18's on MB twist rims form discounttiredirect.com only problem with them is on front you will need at least a 5mm spacer the rear fit fine. They seem like nice rims and are really cheap.
