Unfortunately to get the clearance needed you'll have to run custom offsets which will lead you down the path of huge money. You're not going to be able to find your run of the mill cast wheels in a 12" wide.

yup. almost to the point of just getting a backup set of oem rays and running 305 DRs on them.

Can't really get any better than Forged Rays

agreed. the issue is that with 19s there wont be the sidewall i was going for with 18s for the drag racing application intended.

granted any DR will be stickier based on the compound but more sidewalla would also help improve traction and my 60' times.

best was 1.950 on PSS's. would love to toss on DR's and hit 1.850 or 1.800

i got 305/30/19 rears no rub.

and if height is your worry, one time out of just pure need of tires for 2 weeks i ran 275/40/19 rears to get me by until my new ones came in. were fine as well.

I see what you're saying, but if you need a taller sidewall why not run a higher aspect ratio like you did with the 275s. I know it will change your final drive going with a larger diameter but that could be a good thing at launching. Once the car gets going it won't really matter that you have a slightly taller gearing. I saw quite a few 295/40R19s at a decent price...however idk if the compound would be suitable for what you need it to do.
