I found this pic of the 19x10 wheels on a 265 tire and it doesnt even look overly stretched. Since I am not lowered I think I am going to give the 19x10's a try on 275/30/19 tires. Somebody's got to be the first to do it on an XI right

If I do decide to drop it next year this will force me to get coils so I can adjust the height perfectly to eliminate any rub if I did get any.

So I calculated it out against C's Bimmers old ride with his 12mm spacers installed and the difference between my 10" setup and his 9.5" setup with spacers would be:

11mm less inside clearance and the rim will only extend further 1mm on the 10's compared to his 9.5.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the problem with rubbing on my car is on the outside not the inside so this should put my wheel fitment almost exactly the same as his on a 9.5" rim with the spacers.

I would never drop it lower then the H&R's he used to rock so I'm crossing my fingers and hoping this will look sweet on a 275/30/19 tire.

Trying to decide between General UHP's and Falkin FK452's. Part of me wants to spend extra to get the Eagle F1's though, used to have them on my Jetta and liked them. The Generals are frakin cheap and get pretty good reviews though.
