Continental Extreme Contact DW
Front: 275/35/19
Rear: 285/35/19

Diameter is within 0.1 up front and 0.3 in the rear of the stock numbers so it should be fine. I'm on the stock sport Rays. I will post pics when I get them installed.
Interested to see what you think of the handling with that setup.. Should rotate easier that's for sure.. Why not bigger on the rears?

This car needs a square setup with more negative camber up front for handling purposes. If I was making 100 more HP then ok more meat in the back (pun intended) would be necessary.
