I'm afraid that the 8.5" wide rear's will rub. Ride quality, I wouldn't worry about.

What if you use the 19" Fronts on the rear and the front?
That should work and it would look awesome!

What??? I just saw an infiniti commercial on tv where a sedan had the 19" wheels on it... Seems to look great.

The 18" 05 sport package rims on the sedan *look* like the coupe's 19" rims, but they're cast instead of forged and 18x7.5 all around instead of the coupe's wider wheels.

Assuming that's what you saw on TV...

yeah you would have to use the "front" coupe wheels on all 4 sedan wheels correct?
due to the different sizes?

I've seen at least two people successfully put the 19" coupe wheels on the sedan on this forum...

We have lot's of sedan's running around with coupe 18's, that fitment rubs in the rear for some of them and that's with a 8" wide wheel on a 30mm offset.
A 8.5" wheel would have to have a higher offset in order to not be in the same boat, I highly doubt the 19" by 8.5" rear offset was increased, though I honestly do not know the rear coupe 19" offset.

What we see here are too many instances where the numbers warn us that we are close to the limits of clearances. Often it takes spirited driving or hauling a lot of weight in the back to find out our too close and your setup rubs. We really should only be in the business of declaring a tight clearance setup as successfull when you clear over the suspension's entire range of travel. I just don't want people to get a unpleasant surprise.

The coupe also has a wider body so that the tires don't rub on the fender lips

I have coupe's 19s on my sedan (which im selling) and they look very clean. No rubbing issues unless you're going to drop the car.
