I'm old. I like the old school fatty look on back. Swear it handles much better wider in back than front. 10mm spacer on back, none on front. Unrelated question...does it make sense to anybody else that I trap consistently 121 with 19's and consistently 119 with 18's?

I like your rims a lot, but would have gone with a bit more rubber in back and less spacer (~5mm ?). Either way, it looks really nice.

It looks good. Your tires must run thin. My 275/30/19 cv3's don't look like that at all, I have 10mm spacers I want to put on. Just got a flat yesterday (which took all day without a spare and in the middle of nowhere) so I am thinking of doing the 10mm in rear with my stance sc-05's temporarily. This thread was right on time.
You don't have spacers in front due to vibration? I did 5mm and it drove crappy so none.

Never weighed them. I figured the "taller" wheel must act like a "taller" final gear ratio or something.
As far as front spacer, I have tried several wheel-tire combos over the 10-11 yrs that I have had the car. It always looked a little better with the fuller look up front the spacer (5mm) would give but yes, there was some sort of vibration or drone that I could hear and feel in the steering. I get none of that without front spacer.
