Rota makes a few 19's now. Sure you could package wheel/tire deal with them for under 2k. But you best bet is still used in the classifieds.

I honestly do not know if they are Pshopped or what kind of adapter if any was used. Someone posted it on a local forum and it really grew on me.

Tires sizes are automated by TireRack. I did not verify if these are appropriate.

Here is a 275/40/18, which is the "appropriate" tire size for the rear. "Too meaty" is all opinion. My opinion is that 40's for 18's are the way to go unless you are ready to dump the hell out of your car to eliminate the wheel/fender gap introduced by going down to a 35 series tire.

What are the rim specs? Do you have any other side views?

Hey sosojeffcc,
What are your suspension specs? Your tire sizes look perfect with that drop.

None, they are the proper height tires, 255/40 fronts can also be used without issue.

KW variant 1's with the rears all the way down and the fronts brought down to match.
