Not sure if all coupe wheels are the same as they have staggered wheels on some of them.

I know everyone thinks it will look like a 4x4, but I don't want to lower at this point until I am ready to replace the suspension components. Also if the 19's rub at all I would not be interested in going that large as I don't want to have to worry about rolling the fenders, etc.
I don't have an X as I said in my post. The coupe 19's are 19X8 +30 in front and 19X8.5 +33 in the rear. I'm runnning 245/40/19 all the way around and I'm dropped on Tein H Techs for the sedan which drops me approx. 1" all the way around. I slightly rub on the passenger rear occaisonally so I'm looking at a fender roll in the future. I didn't rub at all on Falken tires and started to after I mounted Hankook Ventus v12's. Here are a couple more pics for reference.

Right!! Kind of surprising to get a question like that from someone who's been a member for 3 years.

Come on, I am a member for 3 years, but just recently came back. I had an 06 G35x about 3 years ago and just recently repurchased. Give a little slack

Guess the 19x8 all around would be best since I have AWD.

Thanks guys, I have what I need.

^ the coupe 19"s are not 19x8 all around if that's what you're refering to. They're 8.5 in the rear

I know, the rears are wider, but on the AWD I would feel better running all four the same wheels (either I have to buy 4 front or 4 rear). I actually talked to a buddy at Discount Tire that is going to bring his friend's sedan up with the coupe 19's so I can see it in person.

Probably going to be difficult to get 4 fronts or 4 rears without buying 2 complete sets. Your best bet would be to look for incomplete sets (from a wrecked car maybe) or individual wheels and piece it together. Most sellers aren't going to split up a complete set and sell them front/rear. You could look for a partner who wants a similar setup and buy 2 complete sets and split them up that way.

If you're determined to get a 19" wheel, you might be better off going aftermarket. Better off meaning you can get a set alot sooner than trying to put an OEM set together. Another option is the Coupe 18's or the Sedan Sport 18's.

BTW, Blue, the car looks nice. Great wheels and the drop is perfect.

Bacara you can get the staggered coupe 19s setup and run all 4 tires the same size and you should be ok

Upon closer inspection, you need to, ehem, paint those rusty rotor hats. Not that a nice, earthy, iron oxide accent doesn't look good.
