Of course. Why wouldn't they? They look good on the sedans too.

Just keep in mind the stock set is staggered so may want to look into different tires or find a square set.

thanks.. can you explain this a little more? i have an 05 coupe with 19 inch rays on all seasons that I want to put on the g35x. what do you mean stagger / square set. its noy direct fit?

so vice versa i can put the 17 on the coupe?

for winter are 19s better than 17s? or smaller the better. how about spring rain / summer?

Staggered as in the front and rear widths are different, 19x8 in the front and 19x8.5 in the rear.
Assuming all things are stock spec, tires on those wheels are 225/45/19 and 245/40/19. If you were to put those wheels on a X sedan, it would throw off your differential. So in your case, if you were to get those Rays, I'd find 4 wheels of the same width (all 19x8 or all 19x8.5) and tires (all 225/45 or 245/40 depending on width) to keep things easy.
You can put the 17s on the coupe depending on the offset, too high an offset and you'll be rubbing the brake calipers.
It's known that in winter you want a smaller diameter wheel/tire width so more pressure is put down on the road in the contact patch. However, I've ran the OEM Rays on my coupe with DWS tires in winter and never had an issue...but I'm also used to it.
Summer, you want all the grip you can get....throw some 325s on that sheettt!!

For the AWD X I'd run 245/40/19s all around, the 1/2" stagger is so small it won't affect the rolling diameter, much better than running those 225/245 combos. Like Venom mentioned, that will cause issues (and possible harm) to your AWD system.

If you do go with that setup, keep in mind that they will be different sizes and weights which means you will not be able to rotate them as you would a square setup. For AWD systems, it's best and easier to just keep everything the same and let your system do its job properly.

I was referring to the Rays 19" G35 coupe wheels, I don't have them, but 245/40/19s all around will work fine on your AWD, but like Venom mentioned, you won't be able to do a true 4 wheel rotation as you need to keep the wider wheels in back.
