rotating tires

[Shift_Altima]

Hey. I know you can't rotate tires if the front is 18'' and the back is 19''. But can you rotate tires if the wheels are staggered (18x8 and 18x8.5)?

Why did you get different size rims/tires???

Your car would look like a beast with some tints... but I realized you live in NJ... -_-

The only thing stopping you is if the tires are unidirectional it just might be a bad idea to put wider tires on the front tires of a rear wheel drive car, or how it may look on our cars.

Not sure, but it reads to me that you have wider wheels on the back than the front? Why?

On a FWD car, wheels should be the same all around. Then, you just swap front to rear, and vice versa, on the SAME side of the car.

I'm just wondering if in the future I decide to get new wheels like the g35 or 350z ones which have a staggered setup, I need to know if I can rotate.

Should be the same size but that doesn't stop guys from buying wheels with different width or diameter sizes. Yes, the V Dub guys do it but it doesn't mean its right.

With a 8" and 8.5" width, I don't think you'd know the difference unless they have different offsets and appearance in lip sizes. If the tires aren't uni-directional then I see no problems... Your car may handle better with the wider wheels up front anyway

Heavier wheels on front for a FWD vehicle to compensate a little bit for the weight shifting backwards during acceleration.
