17" G35 tire size?
So I have a set of 17" G35 wheels. The tire sizes are 235/50 and 225/50. The rears look really nice with the larger tire but I've read you can't use the 235/50 on the front due to tire rub(rim size also). What do you guys think about 225/55 up front? I know some guys are saying go 235/45 all around but that brings all the sidewalls down and I don't know that I'm digging the rubberband look on the front wheel already.
I guess I'm asking you guysto talk me out of the 225/55s. Worst case I'll just replace the fronts with stock size. 235/45s have to little sidewall for me (I think).
Opinions/advise?
Thanks,
James

Maybe I just like the way they fill the fender gap. I was planning on lowering, but after installing these wheels I like the look of the rear, but the front just looks to small with the tiny little tire, and the 235/45 is shorter(maybe not much, but already small).
I'll have look around for some photos to decide.
Thanks for the input.

you can actually use the 225/50 front and 235/50 rear if you want. Unless you're slammed, you shouldn't have rubbing issues. I use those sizes for snow tires (came off a 350z)
Otherwise, if you want same 3 all around, go with 235/45

Maybe I'm just getting old!![Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)](https://maxima.org/forums/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif)

After looking around a bit the pics I thought were 235/45 were 225/45 so maybe I can do the 235/45. Also I sat and stared at the Max for a bit and I think part of the small looking front wheel/tire is the front tires are worn out, no edge left, just center tread.
