19s all the way around, lower w front bolts removed up front. These wheels leave the brakes so exposed I had to bust them apart and paint them, mades a huge difference in how the car looks!

Front are: 275/30-19

Rears are: 305/30-19

Very nice. What a difference they make along with some brake clean up.

Indeed... CCW's rule. The best part is you won't grow tired of how it looks.

Fantastic!! Those wheels really make you put emphasis on the brakes. Spent some time today getting my brakes and SP 500s on. Got the rears on. Working on the fronts which have black anodized Wilwoods. Still gonna clean up and paint red. Should be on the ground this coming weekend. I know you were debating sizes. I went with 275/35 18s on the front. Bstones R-11s. I wish I went with the 265s. Oh well...... might see if someone wants em so I can change.
