225/50/16 and 245/50/16

[Wolfgang]

Thinking of running staggered tires, b/c the tires I want (General Altimax HP) are not available in 245/45, and Ive heard that its hard to run 245/50's on the front. I am going for the Infiniti Q45 brake upgrade, so the question is. How much braking am I going to give up by running a 225 front tire instead of a 245?

id go 245/50's on all 4 because with any camber issues on your car with staggered tires you cant rotate your tires......but it does take a bit to make them fit on the front.........and with 225's you will loose a bit of traction but not enough to make to much of a difference....

It will look so much better with the 245/45s...

JROK: Are you stock ride height? Can you post some images of the clearance up front?

Sweet, I like how it fills the wheel wells. What offset/width are your rims? I have 16x8 -15's.. After my brake upgrade its going to be closer to 16x8 -7s...
