Tires should be wider for sure. The most popular size being used is 265/35 & 305/30. This set up should provide enough meat to give your rims some protection.

Michelin and RE-11 are two of the top choices but pricey, especially in 19's. However, you cant go wrong with either one.

Price out the Potenza S-04's. Currently $800 for the set at TireRack. Great tire, runs a very close second to the Pilot Super Sports for about $400 less. The S-04s have nice overlap on my Touring Sport, good protection for the wheels, as I found out just the other day.

Speaking of wheel rash...be very selective of where you take your newly-finished wheels to have your new tires mounted and balanced. That's a very common place to get all four of them them scraped up, not to mention the need for accurate balancing.
