I'll be running 19x11 rears with 305/35/19 DR's (as soon as they arrive!).
Can't comment on any issues yet as j don't have them, but that will be my set up and it should work quite well.

You shouldn't have any issue with that size. I was thinking about running that size on my stock 19x10

With 800 plus rwhp & this on the back 60 ft should be in the 2.7 to low 3.0 times.

I like them but just me talking here if these are for you are just going to be a drag set up at the track only, I would put a 18 on it to get the taller side wall. Unless you look at chging out the rear calibers then go with LG stuff & 15 inch rims on the rear. Then I would look at the MT 275 55R 15 on it for great hook up.

For drag strip my goal is 11s bone stock 7spd manual with drag radials.

They just arrived--should have pics with them on the car in a couple of days. The front wheels are 18X8.5 and weigh 21 lbs. w/55mm offset. The rear wheels are 18X10 and weigh 22 lbs. w/79mm offset. They are available in black and matte graphite finish. I'm starting with MT ET Street SS 285/40R18's (29 lbs./26.9" dia.). If more traction is needed, MT ET Street SS 305/35R18's (33 lbs./26.6" dia.) will also fit the 10" rims.

What is offset of the wheels? I'd say that's the issue with them sticking out vs the camber.
