Buy all new rims or replace 9.5 with 9?

I have a 2003 G35 sedan.

For rims I have 19x8.5 in the front and 19x9.5 in the rear.

I've had constant issues with the right rear rim with a perfectly good tire on it. It keeps going flat. It started with a bend in the rim, I had it straightened out but in the process they cracked the damn rim. So they welded the crack. Well, since then a crack has appeared in the weld as well.

I'm tired of messing with this rim and I just want to buy a new one.

Problem is, I can't find a 9.5 anywhere. All I can find are 9.0...

Can I replace a 9.5 with a 9.0?

Also, for tires I have:

Nankang NS-II Tires

Front: 225/40-19 40R19
Rear: 245/40-19 40R19

Will the 245s fit on a 9.0?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

Yes you can replace a 9.5 with a 9.0, but I suggest you change out the other side as well. And yes, a 245 will fit on a 9.0 as long as its 19"

You gave us some information but are we to assume you're refering to OE 19" coupe rims? If so, find a Nissan/Infiniti wrecking yard in your area and buy the correct rim....whatever it might be! You could run the 245s front and back on 9" rims, I was never satisfied with smaller 225s in front.

Here's a thought, GOOGLE Konig and see if anyone has the wheel your trying to replace in the 19.5" size. Maybe you can contact them directly.... worth a try!
