Coupe wheels on an X?

Would stock 04.5 coupe wheels/tires fit on a 2004 G35x? they're 17", thats all i know about them.

i hear coupe tires/wheels are different sizes in front and back, so i just wanna make sure it won't cause any problems with the X being that its AWD...

ok i just got this info on STOCK tires:

sedan = 215

coupe 225/235

so, i currently have 215 all around on my X. what problems, if any, would occur if i set up my X with the coupe stock tires (225/235)?

You need to run the same size rims and tires on your X for the AWD to work happily.

The coupe 17's are 17 X 7.5 +30 front with P225/50R17 93V front tires and 17 X 8 +33 rear with P235/50R17 95V rear tires.

I would choose a different rim. The coupe 18's are 18 x 8 all around, so you can use the same size tires all around.

Yes, but coupe wheels work just fine on RWD sedans.

For the AWD system you should keep the same size wheels/tires on the front and rear unless you are going to pull the AWD fuse.
