Tire Set Up
I know it's been talked about for a while on here and generally most say to keep the rears the same or higher than the front for sidewalls. However, after looking at the G35 forum and a thread about the new G37 brochure, if you look, the set up is 225/45 F and 245/40 R. I am just curious as to why Infiniti went with that set up and why generally the feedback on the forum is to not go smaller on the rear? I know a lot of you guys are techs with this so just want to starta topic on this for some good info. Thanks!

225/45 front and 245/40 rear are the same overall diameter (the sizes here only vary in width). The G37 has an AWD model, and of course, AWD (four-wheel-drive) requires the same overall diameter front to rear.
