Which would look better on 18*9,18*11 for a silver '12 5.0?

CF5 or F14s?

Edit: CF5
18 by 9 front, 18 by 11 Rear ordered

Now to choose the right tire.

Any side pics after the drop? You're running the same springs I just bought and I'm about to pickup a set of f14s

I love the wheels but those rear tires are way too small. I have 295/30 on 20's and that comes in at 26.9" and I feel that mine are too small. 19's don't give a lot of variance in tire sizes though.

On those 19x11's 325/30/19 would be ideal IMHO. I was going to run Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar G:2's before I jumped up to 20x11.

There are less options for 19's, price wise, but plenty of options performance wise. Exotics have been running 19's for a while now, so there are high performing tires out there. After 9" wide you start needing to spend some coin, in the 19 and 20 inch ranges, I think. 18's are pretty dirt cheap, and 20's are as well, as long as you stay under 10" wide.

Some other brands I was looking at for the 19x11 setup are Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Pole Position RFT, Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 ZP, and Pirelli PZero Corsa System (which match the front tires perfectly). Most of the tires in these sizes are going to run $490-$750 each. Which I'm sure the OP knows because it looks like he's running Invo's, which can be found for $378 or less each. And they perform as such, which is ok if you don't plan on pushing the car too hard. Soft sidewalls FTL. To each their own I guess.

didn't know about the other brands, I am not sure on the 19 inch rim a 325 will fit without modifying the shock boot. it will be close though, as the shock angles toward the tire as it gets lower.
I might have the 10mm on the inner side of the rim, Ill go and measure later. The next set of tires I will buy will probably be one of these sets. As for performance, what I do, daily driver and the occasional drag strip nights they work great. there is definately more traction with the added 3 inches of traction. I don't autocross the car though. maybe again in the future, but not for now.
