The lug pattern is the same on all the Infiniti cars. You can run up to a 10.5" rim on the sedan, but the tire sizes on the front and rear have to be less than 3% different in rolling diameter.

You can find the rims anywhere these days. On the street, on ebay, on craigslist, or even on this site. About 2 months ago I saw a set of 19" Anniversary Edition style wheels for sale on Craigslist with tires for $1100. They were repainted gunmetal grey, but that price it was a steal. I also saw a mint set of take-offs of the same wheel on ebay for $3000. You just have to search, and be patient. If money is no object, theres always the dealer but walk with lube. Believe it or not, a lot of coupe owners will take your stock wheels plus cash for theirs as they most likely are upgrading to a staggered set of 20's like Vossen or other quality wheels. In my opinion the Enkei wheels that came standard on the 07-08 G35S sedan (optional performance wheel & tire package on the 2010 and newer G37x sedans- awd only) look really nice. Either those or the 19" coupe wheels are a direct fit bolt on. NO MODS or spacers necessary, and you can go staggered if you wish. I personally wont do staggered on my XS, unless its a set of Vossens. Good luck with your ride.

Coupe S wheels are staggered 19s. If you dont want to run staggered and want to stay with OEM 19s, you can get the 19s from the M35/45 S.

Like mentioned earlier, no need to worry about running a staggered setup on AWD as longs as ALL tires are within 3% of each other in outside diameter. The factory staggered tire sizes are all within this parameter so if you get staggered OEM wheels w/ the original sized set of tires you'll be OK. Just keep in mind that you can no longer rotate your tires like you could on a non-staggered setup.

Alright, this is getting painful. Chill out and do some research.
Read up on tires and wheels a bit. Check out an online tire size calculator.

Staggered wheels can be used. The tire diameter has to be less than a 3% difference. Search the internet for a tire calculator, or consult a wheel/ tire professional.

Here's a good tire calculator
Tire Size Calculator - tire & wheel plus sizing
Just enter the stock tire size and below enter other tire sizes you might be considering. If you have different tire size in front & rear enter one size on top & the other in the lower column, if the difference in outside diameter is less than 3% between the tires you've got a winner.
If you're going w/ Infiniti factory G wheels just use the stock tire sizes that came with them and you'll automatically be within the 3% range. If you start wanting different tire sizes then you'll need the calculator. Hope that makes sense

Dj and bl great help, appreciated im starting get hang things...so pretty much can go staggered or use coupe rims as long diameter size is not off by more 3% ok makes sense...so what im planing do is find some coupe rims that come stick tires that would mean tires are all same size...or i could jus buy rims w/ out tires and choose my own tires as long as i stay close diameter specs. Ok so now to find a good pair oem rims.
