Was looking at these in 19" 8.5 front & 9.5 rear,using 235/35 front & 275/30 rear tyres, they list BMW fitment, and i found a pic of a GTO with them on [pic] antera-349.jpg [/pic]

has anyone else looked into 19's ??

For the 275's you're going to need to roll the rear fenders otherwise they'll most likely rub, but they'll look awesome!

That was the plan, get 2" more track width plus bigger contact patch of tyre

Careful with wheels for a BMW, the offset is different. You may run into arch clearance problems at the rear.
