Vettemanz06eb - that's the look Iam going for. I knew that i would love the sizing and looks of the 18/19's. In your case i love the fact that I will be keeping the oem sizes, but was afraid for it to look too small..you wouldn't happen to have different angle shots would you?

TriplBlk - that's one sweet ride...it's not the same car tho is it?

I figured since you were looking for slicks you were drag racing, because Im sure you didnt mean riding with slicks on the street.

IM talking about good performance tires. You have Pirelli,Nitto,Michelin,Continental,BFgoo drich,Hancook and Kumho..

If someone cant pick a 19" tire from any of those companies they need to re-access their wants. Cause there's plenty out there.

Oh wow dude, thats whats killing you. Look at 305's,People have don Mine are 11's. I wonder how you picked that up. At least your rolling with a good tire right now.

Some are expensive, but If you look at the specs they tell you the min and max rim width

Click specs underneath and you'll notice 10.5 is included
