Default g spider staggered setup on is250 awd okie? front tires different then back tires ok?

hey cl members,

i know this issue has been talked about like crazy, but just before i do purchase these g spiders. i wanna get some more input from everyone here. do you think this sizing be okie for my 06 is 250 awd?

225/40/18 Rear and 255/35/18 fronts.

the seller is also selling them with 2 different set up of tires.. Kuhmo Ecsta SPT in the front and Yokohama Avid Envigor in the rear.. both with about 90% tread left.. asking price is 1200 cdn.. you guys think its a okie deal?

thanks

im not sure if stock is350 tire size will be ok but i am running staggered wheels from an 06 is350 on my AWD is250, im running 225/40/18 all around and will soon be switching the tire size to 235/35/18 all around

go to tirerack and use thier tire size calculator to find the difference in rolling diameter, i think if it is less than 3-2 percent then it should be ok? im not sure ask some tire gurus here

I just got my 06 is250 awd as well and plan on switching to 18's this summer, with a 1" drop.

I don't know if this is a good deal, but you should definitely go check out tirerack.com or 1010tires.com. They are really helpful with this subject. Not to mention the "search" option to look through some older threads
