Help me choose**
New tires & sizes. So I've decided to upgrade my stock wheels to some CCW T-10's in 19x11.5 or 12 & 18x9.5 or 10. I currently have the stock wheels and tire sizes on my 04 CE coupe, except I replaced the run flats with Nitto Invo's 3 years ago.
So I'm trying to decide which brand/size of tires to go with. I've heard good things about the Hankook Ventus V12's but they don't come in a 325/19 where the Invo's do for the rear. I'd like to go with the widest tire I can on the rear without having to do a mini tub.
I guess I could settle for 305 in the Hankooks as I've noticed that's a popular size many have gone with in the threads I've searched. The fronts would most likely be 275/18.
Help me out CF folks, appreciate suggestions, thanks.

I put ccw t-10's on my 98 last year after the suspension mods , shocks , sways , end links. The rims are great just a little extra time to keep clean. I went with hankook Rs-3 tires , 275 fronts and 305 rears , plenty wide enough and even lighter then my stock set-up according to the bathroom scale . The most grip i have felt in tires ever. Cornering is like how fast you wanna go . Think about ordering the package deal from ccw as they did a great job with mounting , balance , and also best prices on everything . Would do again !!!!

CCW are great wheels. Have you considered the Michelin Pilot Sports? Great tires.

Appreciate the info guys. A friend suggested I call John at CCW and see what he can work out on tire brand and sizes.

Maybe he can work the offsets so you can run 325s if not 305s will work
