Like I said, not many choices. Nitto makes Invos in the good sizes, but they are not really in the top performance class as their grip is much less than other high performance choices. The Invo is an inexpensive, good riding, quiet tire with very good tread wear, but as I said, not great grip.

Mich. make PSS in the non-ZP in 285/30-19 and 295/30-19 and a 325/25-20 that should work. The 325 non ZP puts more tread on the road (13.1") than their 335/25-20 ZP PSS (13.0").

The recommended rim width for that 325 is 11.5 to 12.5, so another issue with picking out wheels that don't have good tires to go on them. I'm not trying to be negative, but wheel and tire choices should be made jointly if performance is the target.
I also recognize that some cars are more show oriented and that wheel and tire choices are made based on how the wheels and tires look, not perform. I'm not in that camp but then my car would never do well at a show.

If you do decide to track, there are many more tires available for the rear in 18" sizes than the OEM 19".
