I also have 19x11 in the rears and my Mich Sport 295/35's seem a bit narrow for my taste. I would go 305 next time or go with BF tires since they are wider than Mich Sport.
Your car looks great!

I'll try to post some pics from the rear. Problem is I'm in So. Calif. and there is very little sunshine here lately.
