like the title says. Currently, I have factory spec 265/50 tires on sport 20"s, and 20x9.5 and 20x10.5 Volks from my G35. I want to go back to 19" on the G, so I'm thinking about swapping out the Volks, fit them with the current 265/50 tires and running them on the FX. Will the tires fit?

He has 20 inch Volks on his G that he wants to take off to go back to 19's, and then put the 20's on the FX and use the OEM 20 inch tires.

I'm running 265/50 on a 9.5 wide rim and that's already kinda stretched.

Stu, you're running 295/45 in the rear with 10.5" wide wheels? do you have closeups of your set up? How's the tires wear on the staggared setup? Does the FX (being AWD) favor the front of the rear? Maybe I'll get new tires for the rear, and save the 265/50 for when the fronts need replacing.

Edit: oops, just noticed you're RWD. So, I'll throw that question out to any AWD FX owner... does the FX favor the front/rear as far as tire wear?
 
Dr.2K, what's your expereince been with tire wear on your FX45?

You getting even wear between front and rear with the AWD, or does the truck favor one to the other?

Well mine would be atypical since I have performance tires that wear out sooner than the oem stockers. But I have not noticed a lot of uneven wear, if anything maybe a slight quicker wear to the fronts.
 
Circumference for the stock 265/50/20 and the 295/45/20 are the same. There are slight variances from manufacturer to manufacturer. I am running 20 x 10.5 with 295/45s all the way around and was considering stretching the 265s before I bought the 295s. The 295s have noticeable buldge...the 265s would be stretched, but not uber stretched like the stance guys.
