Default buying new wheels

Hey guys, i got my 350z 3 months ago, it came with stock 17" rims and its time to change.

i've done some research, i found some rims i liked they are 19x8.5 all around, but most rims i've seen online or shops are 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear. do i NEED 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear? or is 19x8.5 all around fine?

The tires i want are 245/35/19 and 275/30/19 now, the ppl i've talked to said those tires will fit on 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear rims, but will they also fit if the rims are 19x8.5 all around?

Sorry if the questions are stupid, i will take any advice/critizism so advice/flame away

thanks

and long live the Z!

There is a infinite number of possibilities. Tires fit a range of wheel sizes.

245/35/19 and 275/30/19: Front tires are taller than rear.

Sure you can run same size wheels all around. The Touring does.
