Non-staggered:
19x8.5 +35 to +38 w/ 245/35/19 all around

When it comes to wheels / tires set up, there are more than a few options available. It boils down to personal preference.

EverybodyWild, I think 18's look fine. They are not too small. I personally have 19's on my sedan but only because the wheels I bought only came in 19. I do not regreat my choice, as I love my wheels, but I think 18's are fine.
I would recommend 18x8 or 18x8.5. As was mentioned before, keeping the same width front and back allows for tire rotation and longer tire life.
Make sure to get the proper offsets before ordering to avoid having any rubbing issues or having to roll your fenders. I suggest finding a set of wheels you like and then finding out what offsets are available. Post the offsets and we will be able to let you know which are best.
Good luck.

i think 18" are fine, but i think the 19's would have a better fit. especially if you are going to add a full kit or lip kit. i would want to save up for some work or iforged mesh style wheels. or a cheaper buy like hp. tho for oem, i would get the 19" coupe sport wheels. *Drooool
Thanks guys. Everybodies been a big help. Well I already have tires off a 350z. Theyre basically brand new. So I guess I'll be going staggered. So if anybody has some coupe 18s they wanna let go of, let me know.
