Would 19" coupe rims fit on my 04 sport sedan?

The rear rims are wider, would that fit on my 04 sport sedan? My stock rims are identical front and rear.
Thanks

Thumbs up Son-in-law ran this set up

Yes they are wider but they'll look and work great on your '04 sedan...Gary

You will want to lower it an inch or two at least though...otherwise it'll look a bit 4x4.

Hi, Guys
Thanks for your response. But I checked ebay and found some wheels with such spec, I think this is pretty much the standard for the coupe

5x114.3mm Lug Pattern... Two 19x8.5" (with 15mm offset) and Two 19x10" (with 20mm offset)

However, the seller told me the offset of the rear is too small for my sedan, just confusing

May have to roll your rear fenders. But it'll look nice! TRUST the forum... make your choice.

For your sedan you really want to keep a square setup. Try to find 2 pairs of the front rims (19x8.5). Your sedan really isn't a throttle oversteering beast so 10" rims on the back will only.....

1. make it so you can't rotate tires to maximize tread wear
2. Make you have to roll your rear fenders
3. Make you buy 2 or 3 sets of rears to every set of fronts you buy and the 10" wide rears are going to cost considerably more than the 8.5" fronts. And the rears (depending on tire) may last 12-18K so it'll be a yearly purchase.

But it'll look cool.

Before you buy the rims, price out the tires you'll have to put on them.

No need for a square setup. I ran the oem staggered. But I also ran directional tires that I could flip side to side for rotations.

What size tires are you running? Do you rub at all?

I've been waiting for some decently priced OEM 19's to pop up locally. Personally I'm planning to run the same tires all around. The car already feels like it understeers a bit and that's only going to be worse with wider rears.

Can't remember. But 19" tires are expensive as hell. But it never rubbed. I ran coupe/z springs too.

I also had Hotchkis adjustable sway bars that I could use to tailor handling

Ahh nice, I'd love to do swaybars I hate how it feels like the car is about to flip at the first sight of a turn. I know what you mean about the 19's, I've gotten used to buying little 15's so I was a little traumatized the first time I looked at prices.

I had oem rays on my 03 sedan the back tires were 245/40 and I had to take the camber in as far as it would go factory for it not to hit the quarter panel. My car is some what low though I was tucking half the tire. not sure how low car is/ gonna be just thought I would share my experience with you so you know what to expect

See my sig for optimal (IMO) tire setup. I run Z front/G coupe rear springs as Jeff did. I rolled my rear fenders (it's not difficult) so no rubbing at all.
