I think 19s all around would look sweet And 19x10 chromes are only $15 more each than the 18s

Anyone catch the price of BBS LMs? 18x10s cost $769 EACH!!!

I thought it was a mistake, and thought they meant 17s and 18s, but damn 19s! It would be nice to have 18x9.5 in front and 19x10 in back, but what about performance??? There would be traction problems since it's a smaller sidewall in the tires correct???

If you are breakin the tires loose constantly, 19 inch wheels are not the wheels to have.

Traction with 19s will be no worse than 18s or 17s for that matter.
They all have thin, stiff sidewalls. It comes down to tread design and rubber compound.

street tires have little to no sidewall flex on a launch like a slick or even drag radial might. yur 245/55/r16s will probly hook the same on your 245/30/r19s only thing is if u go with a bigger rim ur usually lookin at 275-315 tire width.. so there u have more surface and u have more roating mass.. less tire spin.... taller total diameter.. also less tire spin.. and a smaller/stiffer sidewall will corner better.. so IMO theres really no downside
