Bought the 19" coupe wheels almost a year ago and finally put them on. Meh picture in the garage but I definitely like the look with the coupe wheels. It sits a lot higher now but since the car is black, you can't really see the 4x4 status. Lowering it is my next step + Akebono BBK.

Coupe 19x9's with 245/40/19's all around, no spacers, and stock height.

RWD Gs benefit from 275 rears for putting power to the ground. However, that precludes tire rotation for longer life. Pick your poison.

So this is coupe 19 rear wheels all around, right?

Thinking I might do the same, to fill in those front wheels wells a little better...

I'm assuming it is the rear wheels since its 19x9 and I'm on a 19x9 square setup.

I say go for it. I like the look of the coupe wheels on the sedan a lot.

I bought a set for over a year ago, had them powder coated since previous owner spray painted them black, sat another few months, and finally put them on

Staggered Coupe setup. 245/40/19 all around. Going to get a set of Swift springs next... Painted mud guards are on the way

I just don't understand using one-sized tire on a staggered set of wheels. You can't rotate them...

​​​​​​But you can though. When the time comes, I just toss on a 10mm spacer switching the fronts to rear if I wanted. The difference of front and rear is only half an inch so it wouldn't matter. Ideally I wanted Vert wheels but hard to find.

I was looking at these for my car. The guy says they are 18x8.5 with +38 Offset and The Hub bore is in the 70s. They are called Volk G7s which is only off by one # I wonder how they will look on a NAK Painted Car.

I just picked up a set of 08 19's for pretty cheap locally. Going to get them repaired and powdercoated but I can't decide on a color. I have a moonlight white 2012 G37S sedan. Any ideas?

You can't do white, I already did that. Looks fantastic to me.
