Stock GS400 17" tires are 235/45-17... stock G35 18" tires are 225/50-18 front and 245/45-18 rear... Has anyone just straight swapped on Infiniti wheels with this tire size?

It would be a ~26.75" diameter vs. the lexus 25.32" diameter, which throws a warning on the tire calcuation site, but just was curious how it worked or if anyone had tried it.

sometimes traction/stability controls can be messed up with incorrect diameters, didn't know if this was the case or not.

with the infiniti sized tires too tho? Or do they strip the tires and put on a different size for the GS?

I'm not sure but i wouldn't go any larger than a 40 series tire.. I have 245 40 19 up front and i think thats to big.

Maybe I can help shed some light on the subject, I actually work at 1010tires. It is true you should stay within 3% on factory spec when it comes to tire up/down sizing. However, the factory 16" is 26.16 in diameter where as the OEM 17's are 25.32, that's already over 3% difference in height which not very common. Your overall height on the new tires are only 2% more than the OEM 16's, but on the other hand you are almost 6% more than the OEM 17's. With that being said, I would definitely downsize to a 225/45R18 in the front and 245/40R18 or 255/40R18 in the rear. GL

Awesome, thanks I was actually using that calculator . I've got some 18" tires from an '08 G35 laying around that I would have liked to use on some GS350 18's to save some cash and get them out of my basement, but it looks like that won't work.
