Yeah 19" tires are limited

Do you have the alcoas on yet?

No, they are still sitting in boxes next to the GT500, plan on buying tires in the next month or two for it.

275/40/19 would put me at 27.7" on tire height.....my rear 325/30/19s are 26.7"....so that would look goofy....the 275/35/19 puts me at 26.6" which basically matches the rear tire height.
285/35/19s are 26.9" in height which would work as far as height goes, but my front rim is 19x9 so placing that 285 on a 9" rim might be pushing it. Recommended range for that tire through Michelin is 9.5"-11"...with a 10" being the best overall choice.
The 275/35/19 puts me in a good optimal range as far as height and width goes.
I'm not a fan of that short of a tire on the back to be honest. On my GT500, I run a 305/35/20, which I will most likely move up to a 315/35/20 next set I need.
Here is how it comes out with 275/35/20 front and 305/35/20 rear. I know a lot of GT500 guys run the 325/30/20 Dunlop Sportmaxx's, which are about 27.7"
Personally I feel tires in the mid 26's are too short and may look off on these cars.

I understand where you are coming from....but tire sizes are limited when it comes to 19s....especially with Michelin....and being that my rear rim is 19x11, I want at least a 305/315 back there, they dont offer much more than a 35 sidewall for those sizes, that I've seen. Plus I'm a fan of the Michelin Super Sports, great tire! So thats why I have chosen to go that route...plus are 26.6-26.7" I'm fairly close to that stock 27" height your talking about.

Just placed an order with LRS.....
RH & LH Rear GT500 Splash Guards to protect the rear bumper with the wider meats and the Boss 302 front splitter to complete the front end of the car......minus the hood which I will be going with the Tiger Racing setup.

After about 10 hours or work... I've got the the majority of the swirls and scratches out....
Now I just need the CF10s to show up.... Apparently they will done and back from the powder coater tomorrow and be ready for inspection and shipping soon. Keeping fingers crossed.

It's on the list, next is full BMR Suspension front to back along with the Stainless Works 1-7/8" Headers and Catted Midpipe + 2-3/4" Stainless OTA Pipes. Then I will be adding a ProCharger F1A system with Boss Intake.
I got mine

The GT500 will be receiving lowering springs and most likely a CAI/Pulley/& Tune before season ends.
