Those are 19's. 8.5's and 9.5's, Randall at Autowerks Express hooked it all up. He put on some Dunlop SP9000's 245/35's and 275/30's in back. I think on the next go around I'll get drilled rotors and 275/35's for the back. I got H&R's with Bilstiens. The front passenger side rubs so i have to roll both sides tomorrow.
Look's alright?

I just did the brakes. I'll get the drilled rotors when the time comes. Its time to put some sounds in there. whats a good exhaust? Just a little cat-back style one would probably be nice, no?
From what you guys can see, do you think i could fit a 285 /30 or should i go with a 275/35?

I got 8.5's and 9.5's. I never intended to roll the fenders and I never though I would have issues in the front, but i had to roll the fronts anyways. I was worried about the back but I have zero problems with the rear. Now, after all the waiting, I look at the rear and want more tire. I like the hunched over look. I'm going to do the stereo and see what that does to the height. The added weight in the back should adjust things a little. At least I hope so.
As for performance? Well, i'm done with all that, I just like to cruise and maybe jump on it aonce in a while, but most of the time i just like to cruise around and be comfortable. it rides really nice with 275's in the back. I would probably go a size up just to make it look like theres more meat on the tires. The rubberband tire look doesn't sit well with me. Looks like a MTV Cribs car. But thats just me.

I hear ya!
285's should work with 9.5" in the back but it is "normally" considered "over-tired". Yes, the meaty rubber does look good and it gives you extra protection for those tight HRE's.
As for a drop, if you're not happy after you'd done your ICE (which I don't think will do a lot for the drop), you also have the option of thinner spring pads - I hear each size represents about 3-5mm height difference.
