285 width rear on an m45x

[mikeym45x]

I know there's debate on weather you can run staggered on a 45x but I was considering running 245/35-20 front and 285/30-20 rear, the diameters are virtually identical (within .08%) is this size even possible rear on an M awd or otherwise? If not I was going to run 255/35-20 all around. any opinions?

It's possible if you want to break something lmao:naughty Just kidding!!! Naw bro one thing about the M is that the chassis is based off the G35 sedan which means we don't have that much room maybe if you run a high offset but I wouldn't recommend it if you notice you never see a M with a 5" lip unless they did extensive body work and it is NOT a good idea to stagg on a AWD system you will most certainly break something !!!

ok thnx, and what about 255/35-20 all around? They are slightly bigger then the stock 18s bit it is extremely small. I was asking about the 285 because it seems common to do the 275s and im assuming you'd put the 285 on 10in width rim just like the 275? I certainly don't want rubbing or will I do any body mod whatsoever to fit them

With an AWD system, you need your rolling diameter as well rolling resistance to be the same. Otherwise, you are risking damage to the components.

I'd go with all 4 tires/wheels in the same size.

ok, seems like a smart move then, so if i did 255/35-20 all around, what offset should i go with, in order to make them look as flush as possible without rubbing?

I would not got any bigger than 20" (personal opinion - unsprung weight), and our cars require high offsets, so that the wheels don't stick out and rub the fenders.

If I were you, I'd not go any lower than 38mm for offset, and probably lowered your profile to 30 from 35, to avoid rubbing in the front.

However, lower profile might not be necessary if you keep your offset around 40-45mm. But not many manufacturers offer wheels that tuck in so much...
