itll go on fine. but in either case, oem 18s and oem 19s, youll need spacers to make the wheels flush.

i'm not 100% but i think the specs for oem 19s are:

19x8/8.5 with +27 front and +33 rear

you can decide how big of spacers you want after you factor in what size tires you are/will be running, how much you are/will be lowered, if you are okay with rolling your fenders or not.

Actually you won't since they are both OEM wheels, they both have the clearance for the bolt

This is correct, because I've done this. My coupe came with the 19"s, I bought a set of 18" OEMs to run in the winter, and they fit on there just perfect. The front fitment bolt works with both the 18" and 19" OEM setups.

I'm not sure about the spacer comment Calvin made though. Why would you need spacers for OEM wheels?

lots of people have put spacers on their oem wheels and it makes a huge difference. maybe not to non-g-owners but i can definitely tell the difference. ive seen a coupe with oem 18s plus spacers in person and it looked much better. ive seen pics of oem 19s with spacers and those looked great as well.

Are the rear wheels really 8.5?

Yes, on the 19's they are, but Ahero got the offsets wrong, front is +30 while the rear is +33
