275/35/19 rear and 245/40/19 front was the ticket. No rubbing and looks sensational on Avant Garde M355 19x9/19x10's. It also handles great and feels crazy planted.

Looks good. I would like to turn mine into a snurf too! How was drive ability? Harder? Softer? Smoother? Clunkier? Added weight? Thanks |
It's all around better. The stock wheels were so tucked under the car that it not only looks completely soccer-mom, the track is really narrow. The wider and staggered track is a game changer. It's a lot of fun to drive and with the JB chip on that 2.0 turbo and 8 speed, it's borderline impressive.
