or you can go with something like the Groundforce GF9 19x9.5 square fitment, deep concave and cut on order for the best fitment !

could you run 245/40r19 on 19x9.5 sve drifts without too much stretch?

Yes you can get them on...personally I would use 255 though

Let me guess, you want the Michelin pilot Alpin pa4s

http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires...l=Pilot+Alpin+PA4&partnum=44VR9PA4XL&i1_Qty=4

I do too. Seems like a killer deal.
My only concern is the diameter difference. Using some online calculators, it seems that 245/45 19s are closer to stock overall. The factory staggered setup makes it hard to know which tire we should be trying to size match when switching to a squared setup.
Can anyone confirm that 245/40 19s will work on all 4 corners without creating a major speedometer issue? I'd like to do that on 4 factory front PP wheels.

those are the ones. reviews just as good as blizzack lm-32

the stock performance pack diameters are 27" front, 27.7" rear. You are supposed to calibrate to the driving wheels (rear), but I don't think doing 27" all around would make much of a difference. it will throw off the speedo by about 2mph at 60+

the pilot aplin in 245/40r19 diameter is about 26.8"

there wouldn't be any major speedometer issue...maybe 1-3mph max. The issue with 245 is they are not recommended for 9.5" wheel.

most 18" wheels wont clear the GT PP wheels you will need a rotory forged wheel or flow formed wheel so for 18" you need

Forgestar CF5
HRE FF15
MRR FS01 ( being test fitted soon)

a better solution would be a 19" wheel with a winter tire something like the Blizzak LM-32 tire is my recommendation.

Im more then down to help you out if youd like.

A good cost effective route is to use your GT PP wheels pair that with a winter tire for the winter season and grab yourself a set of wheels for the summer season, something that will also help shed unsprung weight which is a big benefit.
Not to detract from the OP's subject but, 18" CF5's will fit the PP brakes???? :eyebulge:
