options for running a square setup?

So, I ended up giving the G35 to my girlfriend and she wants to get some wheels, but wants to be able to have them rotated, what are our options? (thanks in advance, I don't know a lot about wheels/offset ect).

To keep the VDC from tripping the tire diameters must be different from front to back. Numerous cases of others running same sized all around and having VDC issues.

On the coupes? I can understand the X's maybe.

I've ran a 245/35/19 square setup for over a year without any issues. If the wheels don't have more than a 3% difference in diameter than there shouldn't be a problem with the VDC.

You could easily run 245/40X19 on all four corners without issues with 19" rims 8.5" wide with mid/low -20 offset.

Tires were directional so I could only switch the wheels between the front and rear. All four wheels were also stock, swapping them isn't a problem if you remove the random bolt front the front hubs. Those bolt's only purpose were to prevent mechanics from accidentally placing the rear wheels on the front.

Just my two cents here but any girlfriend who knows enough to ask for a different tire setup so that the tires could be easily rotated is a keeper....marry that woman now!
