Wheel/tire sizes on G37x Sedan w/ swift springs

I tried to find original 18" 19" Spec for X sedans but it's really hard to find it..

So after some research I found following would be best for car(11 g37x sedan w/ swift springs and 20mm spacers all around)

Option 1) 19" OEM Sport rims (Front only).
Thinking about getting four 19x8.5 Front wheels with 245/40s all around.

Option 2) 19" OEM Sport rims (full)
19x8.5 Front / 19x9.0 Rear wheels with 245/40s all around.

option 3) 18" OEM Sport rims (full)
18x7.5 all around with 225/50s

Since I have swift springs with 20mm spacers all around, I'm not sure which would be the most fitted size for me.

Which set up do you think it will fit the best for my X?
Thank you!

19s FTW, doesn't really matter if they are staggered since it's only 1/2" and the staggered sets are much easier to source.

If you still have the OEM 17s, use them for a skinny winter set and get some nice wider summer tires for the rest of the year, you'll be glad you did.

The bolt pattern won't work. 5x114.3 is what you're looking for.

Either would fit and look great, I run summer 19's no spacers and then in the winter I run RWD sedan sport wheels, 20 MM spacers all around.

You need to keep the narrow wheels in front so if you have assymetric (outside is stamped on the sidewall)
or non-directional tires, the best you can do is a side to side rotation, or a complete dismount/remount/rebalance to do a true 4 tire rotation.

side by side rotation you mean like switching front and rear tires on the same side?

Is it even effective?

dismount/remount/rebalance tire rotation sounds like an expensive rotation

Maybe I should consider getting same size wheels for ez tire rotation

No, side to side would mean just swapping your drivers side front to your passenger side front and vice versa and same in the rear. It isn't too effective but better than doing nothing.

And yes, the remount option isn't a great one either unless you got a pal that owns a shop

I'm such a noob and I need to calarify..

If I do side by side tire rotation, what about the tire direction? Do I just ignore it ? On the tire, there is arrow indicating it's direction. And if I do side by side rotation, the directions for both side would be opposite..

You can only do side to side if your tires are stamped "outside" on the sidewall or are unidirectional. If they have a directional arrow you'd have to dismount/remount them

I guess Ill pass on tire rotations..

Just picked up really good condition 19"s with tires for only $600

245s on rear are pretty much useless but 225s on front are in decent shape.

I probably sell the 225s separately and pick up new tires(one of the tires that you suggested, thank you) soon.

I'm still considering trading the 9.0's to 8.5's so I can have square set.. so I can do tire rotations.. haha.. but its hard to find 2x8.5's or 2x9.0's near my area in same condition.
