This is as close as I can get you, put in those offsets here: http://www.jonathanrowny.com/page/offset-calculator

and then you'll see about what you're going to have to do from there with what your specifications are. As you should know, you're going to need a sizable pull in both the front and rear running stretched tires

Just run a smaller height ratio tire ie. if the SC in the pic you posted runs a 245/40/18 in the rear, which is what it seems like, then you should run a 245/35/19. He might be running a 255/35/18 though. Any more info about the tires on that car would be helpful, and try updating Java or something to get that offset calculator working. It generally shows you how much tires are going to stretch on whatever size rim you're working with.

edit: You also might have to run a tire width down depending on how close your fenders are going to be to your tires, it really depends on a lot of factors

265/275s should be good.

The offset would matter because of where the wheel would sit, with +18 a 265 should suffice, if you had like a +42 you could run 305.

Is anybody running 19s with a 40 series tire? I havent been able to find any pics. Im just wondering if thats too much tire for a 19 inch wheel.

255/265 up front and 275/285 in back would be a pretty square combo if that's what you're looking for.

I can tell Lu that that's way too much tire for a 19. Depending on what width tire you're going to be running, most likely you'll run a 35 or 30 series
