So I've changed my mind after talking to MT on the phone... There won't be enough clearance between the tire and outer fender... So I'm back on the hunt for 19 inch sticky tires

Just get 18inch wheels you won't find any in 19's except for the MT.

Nah I like the stock 19's on my 2010... I went BFG KDW 295/35/19... I'm gonna just buy those new DarkStars from Racestar... They look like black chrome...

Please post back when you get the KDWs on and tell us your impressions of them versus the stock tires. I wonder how much better they are as I'm in the same boat as you.

Well for once something came early...! The tires are going on tomorrow morning so I'll fill you in on how they are after I burn the stock ones off JOHN FORCE style...!

Nice! Discounttiredirect is selling those tires for $315.40 each with free shipping on Ebay.

Just got off the phone with Racestar, the Darkstar finish will be available in 1.5 - 2 months. The 17x7 will also be available around that time as well. Looks like I'll pick up a set of these KDWs until then.

I got the tires mounted and let me say wow what a difference in traction... Once the tires are warm I can rip it at any rpm in 2nd also finally can use 1st gear but still have to peddle it... The 295 are the maximum you can go with the stock 19x9.5... I'm gonna lower the car now and I don't think I can use the eibach pro kit... You mostly definititly can't use the sportline springs... I think I'll go with BMR's 1.25 front and 1.50 rear... I will posts some pics once I get home...
