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.

^^are you running four front coupe-19s?
I thought you could not run staggered on an X.

You could run OEM staggered on the X, as long as you maintain same overall tire diameter from front to back to preserve the transfer case. Since rim width differs only by 1/2" from front to back, same size tire fits on both front and rear rims. 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.Originally Posted by Texan1

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.

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.

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.
