Will 19" Coupe wheels fit Sedan?

I was hoping to get some newer split 5-spoke 19" coupe wheels for my 04 6MT sedan. Unfortunately, I don't think they'll fit. Is this the case?

From what I can find, these are the specs for the 19" coupe wheels:
Wheel sizes and offsets: 19x8 +30 front, 19x8.5 +33 rear

According to this chart: http://g-owners.com/article_read.asp?id=27
the fronts will be right up against the outer fender line and the rears will be way outside the fender line.

Is this the case or did I get something wrong here?? Thanks for any help. . .

But prepared for the rear fenders to slightly (but noticeably) rub the tires if your car is lowered. I have this set up and my rears rub. You will need to get the fenders rolled.

Thanks, RocketG35. That's the feedback I was looking for. So I'll be fine if I don't lower and if I do, I'll need to roll the fenders. Just what I needed to know.

I tried mounting my OEM 19's on my brother's '04 Sedan. They were going to rub "Big Time." His car is lowered, but I can not remember on what.

I think I'm gonna give up on the coupe 19s. Too many issues to deal with if you're lowering and I'm planning coupe springs. Rolling the rear fenders sounds like a pain.

I'm now looking at 18" coupe wheels, which are 8" wide as opposed to 8.5" on the 19's. The offset is different between the two, so the total difference would be 10 mm less protrusion on the 18s vs. the 19s. Seeing as the fender lip is about 13mm, I'm wondering if the coupe 18's would rub or not with coupe spring installed (and no rolled fenders). (I've searched, but couldn't find anything specific to lowered sedans and 18" coupe rims.)

What's your offset? It must be pretty high because the 8.5" wide 19" coupe rims rub because the offset is too low (30 mm and needs to be somewhere around 42 mm not to rub).

I answered my question regarding 18's. According to this post, coupe 18's just barely clear on the rear of a sedan with a 1" drop:
