^ You're right no staggered setup on the X, all wheels/tires should be the same size. I believe ma sha1 was indicating you might be able do that setup since they were close enough in diameter size. The perimeter size is off by approximately 5mm though and I'm not sure if the AWD system would detect that. I personally wouldn't risk it. My initial question was can we use the OEM 19" wheels from the coupe with the same size tires all around on the X. I think that the front to rear offset is different and would this matter.

If you have G35x, Check your spare.

It's a skinny donut, half the width of a regular tyre.
The only thing kept the same is the overall diameter of tire.

If tire width needed to be the same, Infiniti would have had to include full size spare mandatory. Otherwise, if putting different tire width on the X caused problem, infiniti will have to cover it, as they did the same thing from factory.

I have used the skinny spare dounut on my X, it runs fine & no
trigering of AWD lights or damaging transfer case etc.

If that's not enough proof, I don't know what else?

Good luck with the mod. Hope this works out well. I'm planning to drop my X too once the snow clears up, probably in April. Planning on revised coupe springs all around. Are the x front struts so different from the sedan with sport suspension upgrade? Can that strut not be modified to fit the x's?

The Front Struts Are The Ones That R Diff From The Rwd G35. As Far As I Know The Rwd35 Struts Will Fit On The Awd 35.

Ok...from my understanding, the coupe springs drop the RWD sedan .5 inches. So this should drop the AWD sedan approx. 1 inch. Can anyone confirm this?

Seddon, Do you have any pics of your rider with the coupe springs? Also, You have any pics of the z springs up front and the coupe springs in the rear? I know you probably have them posted on the boards somewhere but I am at work so I dont have that much time to search. I love the look ot the car with the z springs but I hated the fact that I couldnt really have anyone in the back.
