Looks great. I think wider tires and some spacers are the best thing you can do to a stock car.

What is next on your list?

I will be ordering the Stillen CBE in a few weeks when my work bonus comes in. I was thinking about the Fast Intentions system but I am afraid of damaging the low hanging mufflers. After that, some sways, a back-up camera for my in dash GPS, some new speakers..... It just goes on and on.

Is it just me or does putting wider tires on the stock sport 19's make them look smaller. I mean I wanna go wider. Probably with the same exact setup as the one posted by the op but still not sure.

Well in most cases the tire diameter is smaller. Like with a 305/30/19, it's smaller than a 285/35/19. Over half an inch smaller! Throws off the speedometer too.

a switch from a 285/35/19 to a 305/30/19 will create a 2.4% increase in speedo reading. so when you speedo reads 60, you're actually going 58.5. Nothing major.

and the difference is no where near 2 inches...

.............285 305
Sidewall 3.9" 3.6"
Diameter 26.9" 26.2"
