Staggered vs. Standard Wheels

In 2014, the G37 Sedan became Infiniti Q50. G37 Coupe and Convertible became Infiniti Q60 under Infiniti's new naming structure - Here's the place to discuss the Q50 and Q60!

Is there any Benefit to putting 245's on the rear and the 225's in the front on the G's?

Does your car have staggered fitments now??

You need to match tire and wheel sizes, and you can't rotate the tires. I've had several cars with staggered fitments, including my RWD Q50 Red Sport, mostly it's more show than go, and costs more....

They are not staggered at this time. I guess it would be better if I had 5 or 600 horsepower but I don't. I do want to put 19's on it though so I guess Ill go with 225's all the way around.

Has anybody put 20's on their car? If so how did it affect the ride vs 19's? For some reason 20 inch tires are cheaper than the 19's

Also I know the stock size is 19x8 for the fronts and 8.5 in back, but what is the largest I can go for both front and back without having to use spacers?

I've driven my G sedan for years with the plus zero tire upgrade option for years. I put 245's at all four corners on the OE 17" rims. Makes the G a bit more neutral, and I've experienced a bit of lift-throttle over steer. I also had a Quaife installed and the combo of the wider tires and true Limited Slip Diff increased the smiles/mile quotient regularly. My Journey sedan had no other mods, but getting the power to the ground definitely made it quicker.

I recently traded on a 2017 Red Sport. I am looking for a genuine limited slip to install.
