Another sedan on Coupe 19" but with stock height
I've got a 03 sedan with stock suspension and coupe 19's. Yes the rears stick out a little further, and yes they will rub going over speedbumps on 245/40-19s. I first tried 255/45-19s on my rears, and they rubbed a lot. I immediately dropped down to a 255/35-19 and there is no rubbing. I'm also running 245/35-19 on the fronts.
I'm running 255-35-19 on coupe 19s in the rear with a stock suspension for now, and I only rubbed if I had passengers in the back and hit big dips/bumps. I rolled the fenders in the rear a smidge, and no more rubbing.

Here's my 19's with stock height. I have 245/40/19 Nitto Invo tires all around and I have no rubbing at all, even when I go fast through tight turns.

I thought you could not run staggered on an X.

Nice pics Texan1! Your G looks slick. I am planning on lowering it and roll the fenders as well. You are absolutely right though, my bottom front end has always scraped when going down steep driveways lol.

It has a 2" gap in rear and will have a 2 1/4" or 2 3/8" gap or so in front. It looks much better in person in terms of being aggressive. On pics, people zero in on the gap and recommend you "slam" it
Its not a track car, will never be a track car and the roads and steep drives will be tough for aggressively lowered cars...heck the aero-front bumper is already 1" lower than stock. So being a bit practical on ride-height.
Right now coilovers are not in the picture, but who knows in the future.

If you go with a crazy staggered configuration, the wheel/tire weight difference from front to back will certainly confuse the AWD system and you may run into problems. Search for it, there are many threads about this topic.
well, good to know. Looks like you did your research and its paying off!
