Like the others pointed out, the diameter of the front tires must be the same as the rear. This is the most important part. Differences between the front and rear if large enough will cause the clutch pack in the center diff to start engaging because the system thinks the vehicle is loosing traction. This will heat up the clutch pack and cause premature wear and damage, it also puts unnecessary strain on the entire drive train.
Why do the diameter of the tires need to match the OE tires? I believe they can be different without causing damage (as long as they don't rub). The only problems I can think of are:
I don't have a G35x but my previous vehicle was an AWD with oversize tires and I never had any issues.

- Speedometer will be off
- ABS and VDC will trigger at a different speed
- A bit more strain on the drivetrain and suspension (if going bigger)

For a summer tire I would go with a PS2 or they say the BF Goodrich KDW2 works pretty good.
If I were running 8.5 x 19"ers on the X, personally I would like a 40-42mm offset.
