Wheels dilemma

Hey all, here is my dilemma; i have a 09 g37xs, i have two sets of wheels 1)stock 18's with winter rubber 2) gunmetal 18" tsw nurburgring with summer rubber (got wheels and rubber for cheap).
Now i like the look of the coupe 10 spoke wheels, but my concern is if it will be an issue running the staggered width on AWD, i would much prefer a square setup. Could I run the same width rubber on all 4 coupe wheels, maybe get spacers for the front (and then swap them to the back as i rotate tires)?
Also, i dont want to have three sets of wheels (and my GF would kill me), you think its worth it to sell the stockers and keep the tsw's for winter and the coupe 19's for summer? i like the look of the tsw's better than the coupe wheels but the 19's are a better look IMO....thoughts?

I'd just run staggered on the 19s 245/40/19 & 275/35/19 will be a compatible combo for fit and for proper diameter. As far as your GF killing you if you keep all three I wouldn't sweat it, if you said Wife, then yes, by all means get rid of a set
