Thanks guys!!
They are ADR M-classics, same as MMGrad had on his car before they got jacked!
8.5 is the only width available in a 19", so I'm running:
19X8.5 with 235/35/19 all the way around, with a 12MM spacer in the rear. The rears could use a 20MM spacer, but I already had 12s. The rear tires could stand to be a bit wider, what's the widest I can go on a 8.5" wheel??
The car is stock height, does it need to be lowered??

Your setup is exactly the same I had... 19s on stock height... now I have Brabus suspension, and no 19s...
It would look perfect if you lowered it about at least 1 inch... I think these rims are awesome for the price...

Now that you guys have seen the GAP, how much and what should I use to lower it? Please keep in mind, I don't want to reduce ride quality more than I already have with the seriously low-pro tires!

The widest you can go on a 8.5 is 255. I am running 255 on my rear 17's right now with no problems.
Just lower it with Eibach Pro-kit, that lowers your car 1.2 inches for both front and back. Or if you are more aggressive, go with the H&R sports Line, which lowers the front by 1.4 and the back by 1.3 inches. But if you want best bang for the buck, go for the H&R Cup Kit!!!

Those ADR's are very cool, unfortunatelly they don't make them wider that 8.5. I was trying to get them in 18 x 8.5 and 18 x 9.5 or 10, but no luck.
