new member G37XS wheel question

Hi all,
Just joined the forum today.

I am a former 2004 FX35 owner and current BMW leasee.

current lease is up in August and I have started cross shopping a few vechicles... the usual suspects.

another E90 BMW
A4 2.0Q
MB C3004Matic

The current deals on the G37X Journey with Sport package are very advantageous over the other vechicles, which is helping me lean in the Infiniti direction again

which leads me in a round about way to my question......

I absolutely hate the wheels on the G37XS for 2009.

WILL 19" G37 COUPE WHEELS/tires FIT ON THE G37XS SEDAN?
I have searched the forum and found them on G35/7 RWD sedans, but cannot find a definitive answer

yes -- in fact just saw a 2008 G35 (same chassis/bolt pattern at '09 G37) with the 19's off the coupe -- looked amazing -- probably sacrifice a bit of ride quality but you knew that.

I just read a post, there the guy was asking if he needed to use 4 fronts on an X......

Yes it isn't recommended to use staggered wheels on an AWD.. either go with 4 fronts or 4 rears. They should fit perfect with no issues too

Sorry -- yes, the owner had 4 fronts on the vehicle I saw -- I gotta say, the 19's just MAKE that car.

too sweet -- should really be an option for the G sedans... i just cannot give up the ride quality and have to deal with the pothole nightmares in chicago land... 18's are bad enough

honestly, the 19's absorb the potholes pretty decent w/ the 45 -series tire up front. Granted, the 50-series tire from the OEM 18's on the sedan work better but ride isn't affected too much.

yeah I know but like I said, you can use 5 sets of wheel locks if you really wanted them

Kenny, so on an AWD Xs, four fronts is the way to go or is that a standard set in the picture?

I'll have to ride a 19'' coupe at the dealership one day to figure out my thoughts on ride quality
