I picked up a staggered set today that the guy had painted orange, then plastidipped black. I gotta figure out whether to strip and paint them stock, or paint them a different color. I'm glad my rim search is over for now.
@tifosi it depends of the rears offset. Brad (blnewt) might be able to chime in as he's the guy I ask about offsets lol!

 

19X9's have an offset of +45
19X8.5s have an offset of +43

Not a big difference. I think I'll have no issues running 19X9s on all 4 corners with 245/40/19s.

Can someone confirm, please?

 

Tifosi, I live in DC and I am looking for a non-staggered set-up.
If you want, we can coordinate to try and get 4 fronts and 4 rears. PM me!

Any rubbing issues on 245/45/19? I'll probably remain stock ride height.

I'd be happy to pick those up from you.

 

245/40/19 would be the size closest to your stock Diameter.

 

So Brad I'm confused here, do I get a tire that is less than 1% close to the OE rolling diameter, or the difference between front and rear rolling diameter? I'm was looking at a set of 245/45/19 for my coupe wheels.

Please enlighten me with wisdom here as I am very unsure now haha.

 

Connor:

I think you should be within 3% of the OEM rolling diameter. And the difference between front and rear rolling diameters should be within 1%.
And if you can get both within 1%, its even better.

 

@original sin:

Replied to your pm.

I've already got a non-staggered set of 4 rear wheels. I am going to put the 2 front wheels up for sale once I get the tires off.

 

Since you have an X it's extra critical to have your diameters real close to stock. 225/55/17 is your OEM tire (or optional 225/50/18) Here's the calculator I use~
https://www.myg37.com/forums/tire_rim_calculator.php
A 245/40/19 is only -.10% different in diameter the 245/45/19 is 3.38% larger. For the X you really want it less than 1% as there's been several members that have had theit AWD sesor activated at speeds over 80 mph when they've had tires over 1% variance. If you run a staggered setup you should also keep the F&R tires within 1% of each other. For a stagger you can 2un 245/40/19F & 275/35/19R. Hope that helps.

 

Ill be having a set to sell here soon. Tires and tpms off my 09 sedan. Would like to keep them local if possible. Im in Ga.

 

PM me size and price when you're ready

 

what would you guys think of gold coupe wheels on a white sedan?

 

Do it! That color combo always works out well.

 

was thinking the same. picked up some wheels but the guy had them painted an interesting flat gunmetal with a hint of slight blue in it. though i would like it but doesn't seem to grow on me. was thinking of either powder coating them back to a silver color or gold. we'll see what i decide....

 

My Coupe wheels:

 

I definitely thought about gold myself, but wanted something a little different. I like it a lot.
