There was another member who did this, and was happy with it.

I like that more sedans will have them on--more pics, more advice on how they fit stock and with light drop etc.
This one is mine--I hope to have mine with 19" infiniti wheels sometime soon.

Thanks Phat.
Hey Texan, there's a new thread in the sedan area with a guy who also just did the Z/Coupe spring combo.

Interesting thread from g35frenzy: Weight of the 19" sport coupe wheels compared to the 17" sedan sport wheels. According to this the 19s are lighter!

For anyone that wants to know...
the stock 18" 6MT 2005 Sedan rims weigh 51LBS with tire..
the COUPE's Forged 19" weigh 48.6 and 51.4lbs (front/rear)
so,the 19" weigh the same as the 18" do.. with the coupes 245X40X19's in the rear, the speedo is 1.5% off, so when it reads 60, you are really going 60.9..
not so bad..

Bad News
Alright...so things didn't go as well as I thought.
With the 19s and the Z/coupe spring combo, I thought I was safe. I did not feel nor think I was rubbing. I had a good 2 finger gap in the rear. Well.....today, I went out to wash the G. I noticed some rubber on the inside rear fender lip
. I'm still in denial, but it looks like rubbing may be an issue with this set up.
I really love these wheels on my car, but I may have to go back to my 18s. ARRGGHHH!!

WAIT Socal--I think you and Elfsblackg35 need to talk. This is his G with the 19" coupe wheels and STOCK springs. He has said above, that he has no rubbing issues.
I recommend that you either:
1. put all 4 stock springs back on
2. put stock springs in rear and coupe springs in front(1/2" drop)
3. Ship them sonsofbiithces to TEXAS!
The laughing pic is my reaction to #3, not to your spring problems
The babe pics are to help take your mind of your spring problems

Thanks for the laugh....and the ladies 
.
Yeah...I knew my options. I'm still thinking it over. When I had stock springs, I knew for sure there were no rubbing issues. I'm just not quite sure I want to have the G with that much gap.
I'm gonna keep the 19s on for a while to think it over. I'll just drive conservatively, and won't give anyone a ride.
Decisions, decisions...
