I just bought a 09 G37 coupe with low miles. I absolutely love the car.

I've searched for a definite answer to this but couldn't find the answer.

The OEM wheels that came with my coupe are 18x8 enkei all around. I love how this wheel looks because it reminds me of my old 07 335i sport coupe's factory wheels.

I want better traction, but want to keep the OEM wheels. I had a fishtailing incident going uphill during rain on the stock V rated tires(4 x 225/50R18). In your opinion, what is the best choice from these three solutions I came up with? I live in S. California, no snow ever.

1. Michelin Pilot Super Sport in 225/50R18 all around.

2. Pilot Super Sport 225/50R18 Front, 245/45/18 Rear(would this width be a problem with all four wheels being 18x8?).

3. Pilot Super Sport 245/45R18 all around (problem with 18x8 wheels all around?)

Thanks in advance. I just want the best traction and handling possible with these stock wheels.

 

#3 FTW, 245s on 8" wheels is just fine
BTW, see you just joined the site, welcome & congrats on your new G!

 

Thanks for the quick reply! Only thing I'm concerned about is the turning radius might be affected from the 245 on the front. Probably thinking too much and won't notice a thing..

 

Exactly.

 

Another bonus to 245s all around is getting more tread life being able to do a proper 4 wheel rotation.
