Default 305/35-19 on a 19x11 wheel

Post up pics if you have this or slightly narrower or wider wheels please!!! I'm concerned about the overall tire height.

Close to pulling the trigger on a set of CCW SP500's and the ONLY tire that will come close to holding the power is the MT ET Street Radial which the 305/35-19 is the only available size for me. I'm lowered and have a C6Z drivetrain so the wheels are already pushed back in the wells slightly. Concerned if this is going to fit ok or not.

Pics and advice please! TIA

I'm also in the market for new rear tires on my 04Z. I have sp500's(11.5) on the rear. I have a fresh set of NT05 275/30-19 on the front and would like to run the 305/35-19 NT05 on the rear but afraid the big difference in diameter will confuse the TC/active handling.

nt05r's work pretty good too so that is another option but they come in the same size and that's what I have ran on mine for the past 2-3 years... not the best pic but these are the 305/35/19 on my car, it was lowered on stock bolts here but I have since added lg coilovers but never had an issues either way... if you do coilovers with your tr6060 swap you can use the c5 lcas and that will get the tire back to the original location instead of pushed back towards the rear, that's what I intend to do when I do the tr6060

I think this might help a little

305/30/19 with on a 19x10.5 with 56mm offset. pretty close to same size tire, slightly smaller sidewall. Wheel is slightly narrower than your 11.

What size are your fronts? I know 305's will fit..I have pilot sport 305/30-19 now but nitto only makes the NT05 in a 35 just dont want to freek out the traction control.
Your car looks awesome I am going to go with a set of LG GT2 coil overs in a couple weeks.

thanks... I would like to do a few appearance mods to make it look a little more aggressive but I keep spending money on go fast parts instead... fronts are 275/35/19, as long as the rears are .5 or so larger than the fronts you should be fine

Am running TSW 18x9.5 w 275/35/18 front and TSW19x10.5 w 305/30/19's on the rear
no issues with rubbing or codes etc.
Tires are Michelin Pilot Super Sports.
At the same time I installed LG GT2 Coil Overs, what a huge difference in the handling!

Thanks guys. My biggest concern is if they're going to stick out or not. John @ CCW told me that the big brake clearing wheels stick out 3 to 4 mm further than a set of factory zo6 wheels, and given the width of the Mickey 305, my concern lies there.
