I have a 09 AWD with stock 18s. I found a totaled G37 with 19s on it that are staggered. I was wondering if I can run those 19s on my car. I read a lot about this on these forums but could not find a proper answer. A lot of people said buy 4 fronts.

I was thinking of buying the two rears instead from that car and buying 2 more rears from elsewhere.

Will this work?? Would the rears fit in the front?

 

There has been some argument back and forth on this. Some say yeah it's ok within 3% of diameter or something like that, while others say no way don't do it. Can't really recommend what to do only can say that I am running a square set up to play it safe.

Also, not sure what size rears? I'm running 20x9, 245 all around. Good fitment with eibach drop.

 

Yes it will work, countless members have run staggered set up on their X. Just keep tire diameters within 3%, most often run a 245/30 and 285/30.

 

Himalaya,

There is a lot of misinformation on the staggered set-up with AWD. Call me and I will fill you in on this. I have 19-inch sport rims on my G37xS.

It's actually a 245/35 285/30 that people typically use.

 

The problem with using staggered wheels on an X Coupe is that you can't rotate them, so they will wear at different rate. With significant wear difference, it's not hard to get outside that 3% window.

Last year, I was considering buying two sets of sport wheels and making two square sets if I could find someone to go in on the plan with me, but in the end I decided it was too much of a hassle, and bought a square set of TSW wheels.

 

Yes it's 245/35, that was a typo on my end. Thanks

 

Yup I'm running a staggered setup on my X with no issues. Like everyone said just keep your rolling diameters the same and you'll be all good. 245/35 and 285/30 tire sizes are recommended.

Here's my X on CV7s

 

I also have an X and have had a staggered setup for 30k miles. If you prefer a meatier tire (as I do) then run 245/40 275/35 or 285/35.

 

Yeah, I think i'm going to go pick them up and do 245/35 285/30... thank you all for the input!
