OP, if you don't mind, what offsets are you running on those wheels, and are you experiencing any rubbing in the front? I really like the idea of running 265/30R19 in front but am not sure of the best offset. I imagine somewhere around +45 to +47 would be the best option to not have rubbing at full lock or over big bumps with the wheel turned. Thanks in advance.

Gymkata,
First, I apologize for the specs error. My fronts are actually 255, not 265. My offsets are +40 front and +55 rear. I had to have full fender roll in rear to get the 295s to fit and then they would only fit with a certain brand of tire due to dimension variation between brands. Michelin PSSs would not fit no matter what I did. For the front with the 255s no fender roll was necessary nor do I have any rubbing issues going over big bumps. HOWEVER, when reversing and wheels turned 75% to full lock there is a rub somewhere on the inner fender liner. It is ONLY in reverse that this happens. I fixed some of the problem by identifying that some of the rub was occuring on the vents on the inner fender liner on the passenger side (only the passenger side liner has vents). I trimmed the upper most ones and this sigificantly reduced the issue. Prior to this it was really loud. Hope that helps.

Thanks a lot for the detailed response. I really want to push the limits of front width daily street driven tires.
I am still considering going with 18" BC monoblock wheels, but after seeing how great your's looks I might consider their 2 piece 19's. I could order 19x9.5 +45 and 19x11 +60 and mount my current rear 275/30R19 PSS tires in the front to see if they fit. I'll be willing to roll/trim if needed. I would then mount 295/30R19 PSS tires in the rear.

Very nice looking SGM! I liked what you did to the diffuser.

Based on the experience I have had with the PSSs and their "chunkier" dimensions, even at a +45, considering your fronts will be .5" wider than mine I really think you are going to rub on the fender liner when the wheels are turned. Also, although you are going up on the offset in the rears the you are also going up in width which I would think the rears would rub as well. In the link below there are some more close up pics of the car when I was originally having the PSS installed.

Super tasteful. Who did the steering wheel and rear console?

Thanks Darbs. Both of these pieces are the ones offered by Carson. Pretty sure the rear console is ThinkDesign. Steering wheel is offered by LEMS but not sure who they source it from.

Very well done. Looks beautiful.

Thanks, those pics are revealing. I think with a 5mm more conservative offset in the rear, 295mm PSS tires would fit with minor trimming. Also, while I plan on getting BC coilovers with swift springs a little later this year, my goal will be to drop the front just enough to make it level with the rear and keep the rear ride height stock if possible.
