Fitment of rays forged wheels

I have recently bought a 2003 G35 coupe with the track pack, and the previous owner had the Rays 19 inch forged wheels installed. I love the wheels, however this particular set has some curb rash and I was thinking about buying another set. I was thinking if I bought another set I would buy 4 19x8.5's instead of staggering in the front. Also I'd like to run the factory size 245 tires in the front as well, but I'm not sure if it would fit. The car does have wheel spacers on it, but I haven't had the chance to take off the wheels to measure how wide the spacers are. The car still has factory suspension as well. Has anyone ran this particular setup and did it fit without any modification? Any input is appreciated, thanks!

You won't need any modification
You'll be fine.
25mm spacers will be about perfect all around

Okay good deal. I may end up replacing the existing wheel spacers just cause I'm unsure of the quality of spacers that they are. I believe z1 sells 25mm spacers that are hub centric.

so a tire over 10.5" wide on an 8.5" wheel.
What are you doing with your life.

Might be more cost effective to keep the rear set and locate another pair of rears, and then have them all refinished/polished to your liking. I found a cheap set a while back and had the lips polished and the faces powdercoated gunmetal. Love them, and I've got them on spacers - 15mm f/20mm r. 25 would work well also,.

That could be an option, if I could find a shop that could refinish the rears I have now then find 2 more good 8.5's. Thes rears are also the ones with the most curb rash as well..

I had bad curb rash also and filled it myself with bondo. The only down side was I couldn't duplicate the factory color. Many DIY videos are on youtube as it was my first time also. As far as spacers I have 25mm all round but I uninstalled them. Call me crazy but I think i notice a negative difference with them on.
