Coupe, sedan?

my 03 has 18x8 on all 4, so if you have the coupe, then yes.

You dont have to stay the same width. Most people when upgrading, run staggered. 19x9 or 9.5 and 19x10 or 10.5. It really depends on what offsets you want to run. Do you want a big deep lip?

To keep the tire and wheel near the same dia. you need to choose your tires accordingly. Try this

The recommended staggered 19" upgrade:

Front: 9 - 9.5" wide with 245/35 tires
Rear: 9.5 - 10.5" wide with 275/35 tires

Why dont you just buy the 19 inch sports rims from the 05 or 06.
