Staggered wheel sizes necessary to match brands

[smithm7]

have a 2007 G35 4dr Sport. The OEM tires are 225/50/18 in the front, and 245/45/18 in the rear. I am having a little bit of difficulty finding options for matching sets for the tires. i was wondering if I could use different manufactures for the front set from the rear. For example, Bridgestone in the front, and Toyo in the rear? In addition, what about same manufacture but different style? For example, Goodyear LS-2 in the front, and Goodyear Eagle F1 in the rear. Your help is appreciated

I've used the Proxies before and had much better results than OEM. (cheaper too!)

you don't have to stick with the oem sizes, go with a different size that will work on the car.

http://www.1010tires.com and use the tire size calculator. stay within 3% diameter difference or you will get an error message. i would stay within 1.5-2% just so there isn't such a difference.
