G35 Wheels on 5.5

Ok so here is my situation. I was able to get my hands on some G35 19's. So at the moment i have 5 fronts and 3 rears. So my question is should i run all 19x8 or run the factory staggered setup. Before you start asking how the hell do i have 5 and 3. well i bought one set from a dude that only had 3, 2 front and 1 rear. Then i picked up a complete set from a guy that had an extra front. Thanks for the help.

If that doesnt work out, find another rear and sell me the set of 4 rears...

...you keep the fronts.

I'm running the factory set up, a lot of people say run 4 fronts, since they are thinner and lighter. I mean you can still put the same size tires on all of them anyways

thats how they were with a 25mm spacer in the rear... rubbing without end lol

and now with a 5mm

basically it doesnt matter. which ever you want. a staggered setup on a FWD car is a little pointless in my opinion and putting the bigger wheels up front would be dumb but thats my .02. since you have the 4 fronts and a full set again its down to what you want. if you picked up another rear you could switch them around and decide what you liked best and then sell the remainder.

and for what its worth.. they weigh almost exactly the same- front-rear..maybe 3/4 of a pound difference..

I've always wondered about doing this. Why would it be dumb? I think Pontiac did a staggered setup with the wider wheels in the front on some of their models.
