Same size rims/tires on front/back on a G35 coupe?

I am new to modding cars, at the moment i am dying to get some black rims with a polished silver trim around, so i found some 5zigen rims with the following specs:

Front and rear:
19 x 8.5
235/35/19
Offset is +38mm
5 x 114.3mm

I did a research and found this: (stock 06 19" rims)
WHEEL/TIRE SPECS:
FRONT
Size: 19" x 8"
Bolt Pattern: 5 x 114.3mm
Offset: +33mm
Center Bore: 66.1mm
Stock Tire Size: 225/45/19

REAR
Size: 19" x 8.5"
Bolt Pattern: 5 x 114.3mm
Offset: +30mm
Center Bore: 66.1mm
Stock Tire Size: 245/40/19
So im not sure whether or not it's a good idea to have identically sized rims/tires on my RWD car, just my logic telling me that because g35 is RWD, it came with larger rear rims and tires.

Not sure if i really like the design yet as i am interested in something with thicker and less spokes (but not too less spokes, somewhat close to the stock 2006 g35 coupe 19" rims). I chose this one right now because it's cheap and local.

I would not get those rims. Bad offsets and width. I bet sedan guys wouldnt want those offsets.

i agree with ^^^

if i'm getting aftermarket wheels..at min. i would get 9" +17 fronts and 10"+23 rears

in my opinion, looks best when you get the wheels flush as possible to the outside fenders

I think he means +17/+23 or less (single digits). Personally, I'd only get low single digit offsets.
