Sorry but I have to disagree, if you look at the silver vert in this thread, you will see that they fit a stock C6 gumby 19x10. Mickey DRs in 305/19 on 11 inch rim will be narrow, it will stretch the tire! I do not want this look at all! 305s on 18in may fit right on 11in but not a 19in!

Could you please post an eye-level photo of the rim/tire looking straight into the wheel well (to show how much gap is actually filled in)?

As far as street performance goes these tires obviously hook up much better than the stock ones I had on before. When its warm out they hook very well, I only have to go easy off the start. As it gets colder out they lose some grip. I put them on when I go to the track and then change back after but the odd time I got lazy and left them on all week they worked fine on the street for me.
The only pics I currently have are posted earlier in this thread. The MT's are not on the car right now so I cant take more. They fill the wheel gap nicely in my opinion.
