I have a 2003 350Z Touring, with front tires 225/50 and back 235/50 .Can I run 225/50 all the way around so I can rotate them , are front and back rims the same size ?

Thanks

You could if you were willing to run same sized wheels all around. If you're contemplating running the same size on all four corners as a money saving measure you'll spend a decent amount on buying new wheels. You'll also need to buy tires that aren't directional so you can rotate them correctly.

Something else to keep in mind is that if the size ratio between the tires changes too much the VDC can interpret this as a loss of traction and start cutting power and applying brakes.
