what wheels are rubbing, front or back, passenger or driver side? Do you have the correct wheels in the front and back? I am pretty sure stock 19"s come in a staggered setup. Dont know if this matters, but it could be your problem.

That is the side that always rubs but on stock suspension.....you should be clearning fine.

Options....as its already been said. Have the rear fenders rolled or get a different set of tires for the rear. Search on both topics

I am running the Coupe 19" Rays on my 2006 G35x. Running 245/40R19 Yokohama s.drives on all four corners. Stock suspension. Do not have fenders rolled.

I have no problems whatsoever with rubbing. I'm not sure what is going on with your car but in theory you shouldn't be having any rubbing.

What size is your tire? How much weight in your trunk?

I'm on z/g suspension with 35 series tires and only rolled the rear lips as a precaution. No rub. My fender roll was $70 incl. tax for both sides ($35 per fender). They used a professional hub-mounted fender rolling tool and heat gun and went nice and easy--no outside creasing or paint issues.

How do you like your tires? I had them on my Maxima, but not sure how they would perform on the G.

I have no rubbing issues with the Z/Gcoupe suspension. I didn't have to roll the fenders at all. I used the stock (for a coupe) tire size for the front which is 225/40/19 and 255/35/19 for the rear instead of 245/40/19. It's closer to stock rolling diameter also

The X sits 0.5 inches higher than the regular sedans. It may explain why he is rubbing and you're not.
