Default Tire question

My wife just bought an 07 Infiniti G35. It has the staggered fitment like our cars. The tires were rotated and they put one of the front tires on the back and one of the back wheels on the front. It rides good but not great. I'm thinking it's not good to run with this setup??? Having a smaller rim in the back and a bigger rim in the front.

you will not be able to rotate tires on a staggered setup with unidirectional tires. Technically you can if you remount the tires but theres no point in that.
