Questions about new rims and tires.

I have a 2005 G35 coupe, and has recently got damaged from a curb. And since one wheel is dented up pretty bad, I figured I wanted to get new wheels. But I don't know if I should get a set of 19" wheels and the tires to fit the wheels for all 4, since I know their is a slight difference between the front two and the back two. So if I got the same size rims and same size tires for all four would that work? Or should I get the front two same size rim and same size tires, and then the back different from the front?

it doesnt matter.. it's really up to you.

my input is to go staggered, not same all around.

staggered meaning front usually smaller than the front correct?

to match that set.

instead of getting new wheels, try and get that curb rash repaired by a mobile wheel repair.

do a little searching...

Thanks, but its just not that 1 wheel. front left is dented up and curb rashed around the rim. front right has curb rash around rim, and so does the back left and back right.

as longest the front and rear wheels are within 3% of each other.

it can be configured by using a tire calculator.
