19x8" all around on sedan?

Anybody running 19x8" all around on a sedan? I would use on a 245/40/19 tire.

The offset is +30 so the wheels would be pretty flush. And the tires would be the same size most use for 19x8.5's. The only question is the 1/2" narrower wheel and the smaller offset - would this cause any issues?

BTW - the wheels are G-Games 77S-Vaio - Sidewinder 2 piece. Sweet looking wheels - suprised I haven't seen any body with them.

I ordered a set of 19x8 DPE Wheels for my 07 G35X and was told there would not be a problem. I am also going with 245/40/19 tires; I believe this is the widest tire you would want to mount on 8" wide wheels.
I am not sure about the +30 offset; this will stick out 1" further than stock (assuming 07 journey or X with 225/55/17 mounted on 17x7.5 +45mm wheel). This might not be an issue unless you are lowered.

They should fit. I would go with spacers on the rear.

Be sure to post up some pics when you get them. I'd like to see how the tires look on a 8" wide rim.

I think I may end up getting 8" in the front and 9" in the rear, I won't be able to rotate the tires, but I'll get a little more lip and I'll be able to run 275/35 on the rears.

I think these look pretty sweet for the $$:

19x8 +30 will fit just fine. I would recommend 245/35/19 instead of the 245/40/19.
Here is my car with my winter set up 18x8 +30 with 235/45/18 all around with plenty of room to fit a 245 tire.

No doubt - I just can't find many pictures of these on the net.

Thank for the pic 8" +30 looks like it sits pretty flush.

I'll be sure to post pics once they are received. Still a few weeks to go though.

Here is a pic showing the fit of 18 x 8.5" wide wheels (42 offset) on an 07X at stock height. The tire size is 255/40 front and back. Note: I have a set of 245/45/18 Michelin PS A/S tires that will be going on them soon in the F and R.

Well the wheels should be here this Wednesday. The anticipation wasn't too bad until they called and said they shipped. Apparently the front wheels will have about a 2" lip and the rears about a 3" lip. I was expecting all four to be the same so I can't wait to see how they look. The wheels are 19x8 DPE GT7's in matte liquid cinder btw.

Those are going to look so small. A 18" wheel with a lip looks like a 15" on the G. My 20" Volks look tiny.
