Trading my 17" wheels+tires + $600 for 19" coupe wheel/tire set.. worth it?

This guy I found online is selling Enkei 19" G37 coupe Wheels and Tires for 1200.

So I offered my 17" G37x sets +600 cash for trade.

Do you think its good trade? the tires on 19" are almost brand new while mine is about 50% used.

Also do you think it can fit my 2011 G37x sedan?
19x9.5 Rear
19x8.5 Front

I want to also ask if they will fit okay even if I install a lower kit (swift springs).

Thank you!!!

Sounds like a fair trade, especially if with good tires. The OEM 17's don't go for much anyways. They will fit fine, with a drop you may even want spacers.

The OEM tire sizes on the 19s are 225/45 & 245/40, this isn't a good combo for your AWD, the diameter variance is about 1% with the rear tire being smaller. Since the rear tires wear faster this variance will increase, this may cause issues w/ your AWD at speeds over 75mph.

Also the wheels are 8.5/9" not 9.5", the 1/2" stagger is so minimal that you can run 245/40s all around without any issue, this will be fine for your AWD, so if you do this deal just replace the front 225s with the 245/40s and you'll be good to go. Be sure to keep your TPMS sensors from your old wheels if the new 19s don't come with them or if the TPMS is from a different year as some aren't compatible (need to verify which years will work).

I think you missed the main problem with running the staggered wheels that blnewt pointed out to you.

Yes I realize that but I was just going to simply trade the tires to same size as front ones so I won't have to worry about staggering

You will both need new a TPMS sensors, have them swapped out a shop when you guys meet up.
