wheel question?

Hello everyone I'm new to this forum and had my car a 2009 g37x sedan for about 8 months... Before this vehicle I had a 2006 Lexus is350 which I absolutely loved, both cars are different in their own ways... Ok so I cant stand the stock 17s and am thinking of getting the coupe wheels. But since its awd I was wondering us I should get the 2 rear or 2 front.. I really want the 2 rear which are 19x9 245/40 19... Which do u guys think is the better option?

if you have awd get all the same size if you want 19s go 19x9 all the way around will be better in the long run.

Check out some M45S wheels. They look good and are the same size all around.

I've been rocking different size wheels F/R for probably almost 25,000 miles. Don't listen to what people say about running staggered on AWD setup. As long as you keep your tire diameters within~3% you'll be fine. With the staggered S-coupe wheels, I believe people are running 245/40/19 275/35/19. I can tell you from personal experience that you'll have zero issues with that setup. GL.

^this, FTW. Plus it'll be tougher to find a non-staggered set of coupe 19s, you sure don't want to buy them new from Infiniti (unless you hit the lottery).

honestly if I had to do it again I would consider 18" or 20". 19" seem to be an off-size with expensive tires. unless you have to run a staggered setup I wouldn't simply because you are able to rotate tires/wheels but you can run a staggered set-up with AWD.

I run a staggered setup in the summer but square for winter.
