? on different tires size

If I'm running 235X45X17 in rear and if i run 225X45X17 in front will it cause any issue?

my rear tires have about 50% left and my front tires got blown but i don't want to spend money on getting new tires yet... and i have pair of 225X45X17 with about 50% left also....

Let me know if this will cause any issues...

thanks in advance...

It probly shouldnt, 225/50/17 is the stock size right? Speedo might be off a tad but if your already running 235/45's your used to that- actually im not sure if having diff. size tires on the front and rear axles make a difference, anybody with more experience know? I just know you have to have the same size for left and right, on one axle, thats for sure.

I can't remember if you had the sport package or not, but if you do, the different rolling diameters front and rear might cause some VDC issues. I've heard some of the G guys have trouble setting off VDC with different diameters front/rear. Don't know if that would apply to us though.

I don't think you'll have any issues with different sizes... For the looks and performance, I would keep the bigger offset set in the back, the same as you have it... Many org'ers are running either size all around with no issues...

The size will fit no problems. The difference in rolling diameter between the front and back may freak VDC the hell out though. It's done it in some cases with the G35's, I don't know if our VDC will react the same way (provided you have VDC, ][35). If you don't have VDC I don't see any serious problems.
