Anyone w/ 19x8's all around? If so, what did you...
 
do for tires? did you just run all 4s the same size or did you stagger them anyway? are there any down sides to not staggering them since even the OEM set-up is staggered?

Yep here.

I used 19x8 all around Lowenhart BR5 with 235/35 tires.

Box said 8" but I measured 8.5 with my tape. Regardless, I ran 245's and 255's. There is 0 bulge on the rear and im 100% confident the 275s would have fit!!!
WHENEVER my spacers bolts finally arrive, I will throw them on and no one will be the wiser. They sit OK now, but not how i want them with the drop.

This is the WORST angle I could find for showing the width. Even at this horrid angle the width isnt NOTICEABLE.

I ran 235/35/19 for 7 months.... hated it!

traction sucked and the rolling diameter is quite a bit smaller than stock... of the 11,000 miles (indicated by the odometer) I put on the car with them, about 1,200 were excess due to the incorrect diameter.

Now that I have 245 and 285's life is much better.

My Pirelli tires is actually on order, so I can't post pics for you, sorry.

On a side note, is Pirelli really better than say, Falkens?

I have heard that lately Pirelli isn't what they used to be, they have fallen behind a bit (heard that a month ago from a dealer that I was going to replace my wifes warn Pirellis on, ended up going with Kuhmos) and I have heard that tires like Falkens have gotten MUCh better than they used to be, I still wouldn't necassarily say they are better than Pirelli though, that would be hard to believe.

Thanks for that piece of information, rodH!

That is so useful to me.
