Here is how I picked the tires:

I used 1010tires.com calculator. Here are 5 19" tire sizes that will be the closest to stock. Using a tire that changes the diameter by more than 3% is not recommended. The tires are ordered from smallest sidewall to largest(from worst to best ride quality). The difference in radius will dictate how much lower/higher off the ground the car will be.

These 2 sizes produce smaller diameter than stock which means the car will sit lower, accelerate a bit faster, fuel economy will drop a bit, and the speedometer will show faster speed than actual

Agreed! It looks sick man! I don't have much invested in mine yet, so I haven't posted much of anything... But I've been following your thread forever. Great work bro. Keep it up.

I'm looking to roll my rears at some point. if you can borrow one i'd be down to meet up and we could do both of ours. i am looking to getting a heat gun, if you dont have one yet. or if you cant borrow one why dont we figure out somewhere to meet and we can just split the cost of a rental. you down?
