Nice.. Did you have to use spacersor anything? Or did they just bolt right on? Thx

bolt right on. Also, with the different offsets on the coupe wheels, on the sedan they stick out just a tad.

If you do a search, you'll see alot of sedan owners who have the coupe wheels with good results.

on the coupe the rears are 245/45 and the fronts are 225/45. i believe that the wheels are 18x8 front and rear though.

as long as the overall diameter of the tire is the same it won't mess with the AWD.

Looks great. the only problem I have with staggered sizes is the fact that rotation is no longer an option to prolong tire life. I have 18 x 8s on my 05 X with 245/40s all the way around. It handles great. And since the front and rear tires are the same size, I can rotate them.

As far as the lowering goes, sedan springs will fit the X. However, there are no decent shocks available for the X at this time. I think it would be a waste to go through the trouble of lowering it on stock shocks. The OEM shocks will not last long IMO. When Tokico makes the D-Specs for the X, I am first in line for springs.

Well....
the diameters are different!
with MichPS fronts are 25.8" dia
& rear is 26.8" dia

This is 1" difference. or 2.8%
front is -1.3% from OEM
rear is +1.5% from OEM

JMHO, but if it was me I wouldn't run that setup

I dont know if the last few posts are general comments about having a staggered set up on the X or referring to my set up.
In case it is the latter, I DO NOT have the staggered set up. I am running coupe wheels with 245 45 's ALL AROUND. (see my sig)

...and I agree, I would not recommend running different diameter size front and rear (staggered) tires on the X.

and the difference in handling is amazing

Yea the offset is way too low on the Z rims. But when you guys say staggered, you mean wheel size, right?

So if the wheel is 18X8, can you put 225/45WR18 in the front and 245/45WR18 in the rear? That's not a staggered setup, right? TIA

So they will fit on 18X8 all the way around? Will it look funny if the rear wheels arent wider eg 18X8.5 or 18X9?

that's what i was getting at... wheels straight off a coupe = bad. wheels off a coupe with no stagger = good.

looks nice, is there no 18" option on the X?
