Been driving with this setup not sure if its correct
Hello my Original Equipment Sizes on tires are 225/50-17 at the front and the Original Rear Tires are
235/50-17. I had my rear wheels replaced since I had a piece of metal pop one of them so I had to replace both tires. When I went to discount tire the only size they had for the rear in stock was one size up for the rears and I was in another city with my wife trying to get back home when this all happened, it was a bad day lol. Anyway long story short my current setup is with still the stock fronts on at 225/50-17 but my new rears are 245/45-17, is this setup ok, the Z definitely does feel different driving. Not sure if this ratio is correct. Thank you for the help.

^^ Your current setup is not satisfactory. Your rears are shorter than your fronts.

EDIT: TCS (if your car has this) and ABS wont' work correctly when the rear tires are shorter than the fronts.

Got it fixed this morning at Discount Tire. They have terrific customer service I was told to pay the difference on the tires and that came to $169 altogether and then on top of that they took even more off for the hassle and for being given the wrong size so my total came to $82.00. Currently running at OEM Specs. Thank You!
