Just priced a similiar set up from them, Michelin super sports, Amazing tires!!!

but i priced:

225/45/19
275/40/19

$1265.00

Curious to the sizes on yours and will my sizes be ok with swift springs?
Does the rear have to drop to a 35 series to run 265 or are you low?

Wouldn't you rather get some wheels (maybe with tires if you are really lucky) for that price? I'm just curious.

The popular size people are upgrading to when upgrading their stock sport tires are 245/40/19 and 275/35/19..never seen anyone run 225 and 275

265/35ZR19 XL Michelin Pilot Super Sport Blackwall

235/40ZR19 XL Michelin Pilot Super Sport Blackwall

I don't like how the sidewall is pushing out on 19x9inch wheels.

The 275 to me is too wide for 9inch wheel..
275/35R19 Rim Diameter: 19 in 482.6 mm Rim Width Range: 9 - 11 in
265/35R19 Rim Diameter: 19 in 482.6 mm Rim Width Range: 9 - 10.5 in

275/35R19 Speedometer1: 60.3 mph 100. km/h
265/35R19 Speedometer1: 60.9 mph 101. km/h

I'm don't want any chance to rub, I am lowered about 1.7inch in the rear.

I think
265/35ZR19 235/40ZR19 .. Setup is perfect for the wheels!

Remember just because 70% of the people go down a hole does not mean it's right!

I like to know where your going to find wheels like Rays or SSR with these tires for $1300..

I will be soon getting Rays TE37-SL.

I love how my 2011 Stock wheels look

Im dropped about the same as you and ran 275's in the back without any issues at all. Im on KW V3's. Im not runnin stock rims, but same size, no issues with the width.

@ betterdays I ran a 275/225 on my sedan and had no issues, but I would recommend the 245's up front, the feeling in the wheel is a lot better.

Can't wait to see the pics! I like that exact size you picked, I don't like a square sidewall, so the way you did it might look better.

Hey, it all depends on how resourceful you are. I admit. Some people are catalog, full price type of people. And some people have connections. The only time I've EVER spent over 2K for wheels was for some OEM wheels for my SL55. And that was a deal lol. But like you said, you like them so that's all that counts. If I were going to have 19's, i'd stick to stock. The car looks good.

I was just answering the "What do you guys think?".

Thanks! I just wanted a little bit more rubber on the wheels. I went to go look at the 2013 Lexus GS350 F Sport. The car is not worth 58K with 306HP. But the wheels are the same as ours but running 265/35/19 R 235/40/19 F. I love the look.
