If my memory serves me correct... OEM 19" coupe wheels are 19x8 front and 19x8.5 rear. OEM tires are 225/40/19 (front) and 245/40/19 (rear). The size difference is very small, but nonetheless, different. There are people who have installed the same size wheels/tires without adverse effects. That's up to you. Anyway, to answer your question... you're out of luck, you can't rotate your setup. The staggered idea is that our RWD cars put power in the rear, so you want bigger wheels/tires in the rear to make more contact with the road, hence, better traction. If you think about it, all the top "sports cars" out there all have staggered setup; porsche, corvette, lambo, etc.
