The problem with using the coupe wheels and tires on the X , is that the coupe comes with different size tires front and back, but the front and rear rims are the same size, so you must purchase 4 tires the same size because you should not run a staggered set-up on the X. The coupe rims are 30mm offset so they stick out quite a bit more, but they look real good on the sedans. I know there are a few rwd sedans running the coupe 18 x 8s or 19 x 8.5" and they look really good. I have heard in a couple of cases where they did rub.
Thanks Ian, I appreciate that .

2004 Coupe..Standard- 6 spoke, 7.5" x 17" alum alloy
2004 Coupe...Available- 7 spoke, 8" x 18" alum alloy
2005 Coupe...Standard- 6 spoke 7.5" x 17"
2005 Coupe...Performance- 7 spoke 8" x 18"
2005 Coupe..Sport- split 5 spoke 8.5" x 19" alloy
But irregardless you should run the same size rims and tires all around on the X, at least thats what the general consensus is.
