Exclamation Anyone running 235/40WR17 Fronts and 245/45WR17 Rears?

Does anyone else run this tire sizing on their Z or know if there would be any problems? I already have the Rears on and have for about a month without any problems at all. The stock front wheels are ready to be replaced now and I was thinking of going with the 235/40WR17 on the fronts for a little wider tire with a lower profile for when the car gets dropped.

Does anyone know what problems may arise with this setup or if everything would be fine? I have an Enthusiast model but usually drive with TCS off so I am not worried about that going crazy.


Thanks....

You should be fine. TSC is not sensitive to tire height.

if the rear tire is thicker than the front, oversteering might happen to u ! I learned it the hard way in the track.
