Help with tire size

IMO, lose the 19s and go back to stockers - or get 17s so you can get a larger aspect ratio. It may not look as "cool", but ride quality will increase significantly.
Probably not the answer you wanted to hear though...

you gotta change your driving habits with plus size wheels
know your smooth routes, slow down on unfamiliar ones to pothole dodge
sometimes heavy traffic is your friend
check your tire pressure regularly, run them stiff

In all actuality, I ordered a 285/30-19 for the rear but a 285/35-19 came from their warehouse. It would have been another week for them to bring in a 285/30-19 and I was in desperate need of tires. So I just went with the 285/35-19 and to be honest with you, it doesn't look too bad of a difference and rides pretty good for NYC streets. I can post pics of anyone would like to see the set up.

Nice! I think the 19" up front looks great. No rubbing? Those are 8.5" rims up front? The stance looks great in the first picture.
Your car looks pretty level in the first picture, but the last picture looks like the rear of the car is sitting higher.
It looks like you have some room to fill or lower the car in the back (last photo).
Is that just the photos (night, black car) or are you seeing that too?

The front wheels are a 19x8 et32. I'm looking to get new wheels soon. The wheels currently on the car are my "winter wheels" being that they are kind of old and slightly banged up from when I used to run 275/30 in the rear and 245/35 up front. That set up was just too thin for NYC streets. When I get my new wheels, I'll probably run a 19x8.5 or 9 et32-35 up front and a 19x10 et40 in the rear using the tires I have now.
I'll take some day pics of the car so you can see the car better and in a "different light". Thanks for the comments and compliments about the car. It's great that we all have an appreciation and passion for nice cars!! I'll definitely keep you posted after the KW install...
