Anybody with 19" coupe rims on 07 sedan?
#17
I checked with Discount Tire today and they confirmed that the offsets are in acceptable range putting thoes 19 inch coupe wheels on the 07 sedan. So I got the rears ordered (245/40/19)Kumho SPT. I didn't order the fronts because the sales guy and I tired to find anything in a ??/45/19. There were a few but he wasn't sure 245/45/19 would fit with out some rubbing, but he wasn't sure. So I decided to sleep on it and do some research.
I think I am going to just order the kumho spt 245/45/19 and see what happens.

Dude - please do not get 245/45/19 tires.
That will make the gap a bit smaller - but it will make the car sit higher off the ground and the fattyness of the tire will make the wheel looks smaller. Plus the front tires would be fatter than the rears!?! You could just get 245/40 front and rear. Or you could get a 225/45 in front. Remember that the car sits higher right after you have it jacked up, after a day or so it will go back to regular ride height.

Okay...I jumped on the bandwagon. Found a good deal on the coupe wheels and got them put on this morning. Completely stock...no drop...no spacers...40 series tires. More pics to come, this is the only once I have so far. I think the gap up front is a little higher than I would like, but I can live with it for the time being for sure.
CarFreak I have no idea where you found those pictures...but that is exactly what I've been looking for to get a view of this on the IP.

TPMS is a good question. The ones I bought came with them. I was told that TPMS was car specific, so buying new wheels I would have to recalibrate. But I put them on, drove around, and the light never came on. So I'm going to assume that they are working fine? Does anybody know the answer to that?
As for my oems, I'm going to keep them as well I think. Not exactly sure what for. I just noticed you live in Marysville, I'm in Sacramento. We don't exactly get bad winters, so no need for a winter setup. Mine only have 2500 miles on them, so I haven't even had a chance to see their wear yet.
