Coupe & Sedan 19" wheels

I'm having trouble locating an answer to this question using the search function.
Are the sedan & coupe 19" wheels interchangeable? I'm looking for another set of 19" wheels to put snow tires on, and I don't want to waste the sedan owners time if their wheels won't fit on my coupe(2005 6mt sprt susp).

Thanks for the help!

The sedan hasn't ever been available with 19s, only up to 18s.

Ah, thanks for the heads up. Then anyone running 19's on a sedan are actually running coupe wheels then, correct?

Front wheels are 19x8 rears are 19x8.5. Front tires are 225/40 rears are 245/40. On the sedan all the tires and wheels are the size size.

So does this mean the sedan wheels won't work(currently running stock 19" wheels on my 05 coupe, sport susp)? If they do, are there any issues I should be aware of(ie. tracking the car, etc)?

Thanks again for all the assistance gang. I'm still learning

PS Shouldn't this be stickied somewhere???

Now I'm starting to get confused. If you want to put winter tires on the OEM 19s (only made for coupe, not the sedan) the only option that I know of is the bridgestone blizzak lm22 in the same sizes that I mentioned above. They're quite expensive though; most use 17" wheels for winter tires and rarely 18s.

19s snow tires...will it work just the same as summer tires on the snow? I think it's gonna be hard to drive with 19s snow tires...
In canada, driving a 17s snow RWD is hard already...not too sure if it's good for 19s...

This info may help you out...

sedan and coupe wheels are interchangeable -same bolt pattern

sedan 18's are 18x7.5
coupe 18's are 18x8
coupe 19's are 19x8/19x8.5
(someone verify this info as I am not 100% sure on this)

The coupe's 19's have a slightly more aggressive offset than the other two.

If you have a coupe now with OEM 19 and want snow tires, i would suggest purchasing used OEM 18 coupe wheels and get Bridgestones LM22, LM25, or Dunlop M3 snow tires on them.

Right now im running OEM 18 with Bridgestones LM22 snow tires for 3 winter season already no problem so far.
