Tire size for my 2012 G37XS AWD sedan

Hello, I drive a 2012 G37XS sedan AWD. Just bought OEM G37XS coupe wheels (size = 19 x 8.5 all around). I Intend to put 255/45/19 on 4 wheels does it fit?

If not, what's the best for my AWD sedan with 19 x 8.5 wheels?

THANKS!

that tire will likely be too tall. The most common size thats close to that is 245/40/19..

I'd go with 225/45/19, which is only 0.1 inches greater in diameter than the 225/50/18 that came with your sedan.

Thanks a lot for your replies. I think 225 in a bit thin. Would 255/40/19 fit? Otherwise, I'll just go with the 245/40/19 as recommended above. My car is not lowered.

Thanks!

Running 225/40/18 dunlops and I hate the donut look.

On 19's a good square fit is either 255/40/19 or 265 gives it a nice meaty look.

255/40 is the widest I'd run on a 8.5 width and will work w/ your AWD. 245/40 is the most common mount on that wheel. I'd nix the 255/45, quite a bit over 3% dfference.

255/40/19 should be ok, but 265s on an 8.5 inch rim will likely be too wide for the rim.
