  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

After noticing that the fronts are 225/45/18 and the rears are 245/45/18, questions questions questions. Not rotating tires due to different sizes = caca. So......what size would be suggested on next set to have all 4 same size? Should I split difference & go with 235/45/18 all 4 corners? Go with the smaller 225s like up front and have wheel gap in back? Go with 245s like in back and have possible rubbing issue up front with steering? Is this the way tire sizes are on track models or do they have all 4 same size?

Looks like you never got an answer. If your car is an Rspec or Track, the wheels are different sizes, that's why the tires are; they are staggered on purpose for performance. If you want to go the same size all the way around, you will have to go with the base model 18" wheels and then you can get the same size tires. Also you can still "rotate" the tires, you just don't rotate like regular tires. When rotating, you actually switch the tires back and forth, i.e. front left goes to front right and vice versa, and rear left goes to rear right and vice versa. This should be done by an experienced tire shop especially if your have "directional" tires, meaning they are supposed to turn in one direction.
