It definitely has been done! OEM 19s are a nice clean, simple look. I don't think you'll have any issues running them.

19 coupes

Yeah they will look nice and clean IMO and will set the car off. I like stock sport 18s but those 19s have always had a place in my heart lol. An thanks man ill post some pics when done. U don't think I'll need spacers or anything though?

Yes, you do: Make sure you use the correct lug nuts for those wheels.

Just make sure to use the right lug nuts. I'd just try to bolt everything onto the car first and space them out to your preferences, if necessary.

Like others have said, you'll need the acorn type lug nuts. Here is mine

I love the older Coupe 19's, but

1. You need a pretty aggressive drop to pull it off (IMO)
2. You need some aggressive spacers to fill the gap.
3. They're too narrow for my taste and tire requirement

Spacers are not needed but can be fun. If I keep mine I am going for 10 or 15mm spacers to push them out just a little more.

Does any one make aftermarket acorn lugs? Or is my best bet a diy colour job on the OEM lugs?

Thanks everyone for the advice. I am buying them from a MBR here so they will come with tires,rims, and lugs. I should be good to go and I'm dropped on then h-techs so it should look pretty good IMO. Figure out the spacer situation and that should be that. Thanks again guys

Sorry to bring this back to life guys but I have searched around and didn't find a 100 percent match to what I was looking for. Trying to find the right lug nuts for the coupe 19s that will be going on my 07 sedan sport. Thanks again guys and I appreciate all the help

EDIT: Did you bother to check the classifieds here? I did a quick search and came up with a whole bunch of listings. Here's just some of them:

https://g35driver.com/forums/steerin...er-mounts.html
https://g35driver.com/forums/wheels-...-nuts-key.html
https://g35driver.com/forums/accesso...tock-sale.html
https://g35driver.com/forums/wheels-...-lug-nuts.html

and that doesn't even begin to compare with what's on ebay . . . or new from online dealers, etc. etc.
