Those, of course are the rears... the fronts are 245/35/19. I was pleasently surprised that the shorter sidewalls didn't make the ride noticibly rougher - it feels about the same. The total diameter of the new wheel/tire combo is 3/8" shorter than the factory 18s and 225/45s.

Hey nice setup..I believe very noticeable power loss right??
I am changing my front with 225/35/19 this week just to have exactly the same diameter etc with the rear 265/30/19 i have..

Thanks... But I've noticed no power loss. The wheel/tire combo is about 3/8" smaller (diameter) than stock... so, technically, I should've gained a bit of final gearing. As to weight, I have no idea.

The 275 tire is very much to rotate it...Try heading with an rx8 with stock wheel combo..You ll sure see you can't beat it...

Just to let you know i am not talking personally and telling you that you re slow,i have also staggered setup in 19s and very leightweighted

Okay - I see. That makes sense. I wonder - because of the significant gain in traction - if the car can now be launched harder resulting in a same as stock or better than stock set-up.

Of course, I'll admit, I'm as concered with the appearance as I am with performance. If not... I'd be driving a WRX STI
