Tires for Infinity G35

Helping a friend with tires on her G35.
Stock it comes with 225 front/ 235 rear.
Any reason she couldn't go with 225s all around? I'm a big fan of rotating, and without the stagger she could do this.
Thoughts/opinions? TIA

you can do the non-staggered setup but the VSD might get thrown off.
ive read people do it on their G coupes for winter setup so should be fine.

No reason you can't. If it was mine I'd go 235 all the way around... PS: That is if all the WHEELS are the same size and offset.

VSD?
Google says it's a Ventricular Septal Defect.

She drives like a granny - probably wouldn't light up space saver spares...

Its a few months since I sold my G35, but aren't the rear wheels wider? You may want to check.

I had 275 rears and 245 fronts. I think its set up for some strake, like mentioned.

the 07's were, i believe, 19x8 and 19x8.5's. my 04 coupe came with
18x8 front and rear, just different size tires (225/45/18 and 245/45/18).

right now im running 19x9 and 19x10 wheels with 245/35/19 and
275/35/19.

actually the 05, 06, 07's had those sizes when you opted for the
sports package... imho, the factory 18's look better on the car
than the factory 19's.
