It looks like the RE-11's are going to be the best tire I can get. Looking at the Hankook RS-3's and they do not come in the right sizes for 19's.
I know someone selling 305/30-19s that will fit the sport Rays with a bit of bulge... LOL

Don't think I want to run 305's on the stock Rays, thanks though.

Well the F14's are out with the short notice.

So now its Enkei NT03+M in 18x10.5 +30 or Enkei RPF1's 18x10 +38 if I want to run a square setup.

I now have the 305/30-19 Hankook R-S3 (version 1) on the rear and they actually look to fit the rear wheels better than the original 275's. I haven't tracked or autocrossed with the 305's, but I'm not expecting any major problems.

PS: The price for the 305 R-S3 is crazy low right now... On clearance at Tirerack... 305/30-19 R-S3 (version 1) at TireRack
I sell for less

No worries, and I believe Enkei RPF1's come in 18x10.5+38.

They will be sold out tomorrow to me.
