Default 19" drag radial?

I might or might not have moved back up to the 19" game with another set of baller wheels (not CCWs). SOOO, question is...now that I'm hardly driving the car AND with the car making over 400 wheel, I'd prefer to put a drag radial on it. I've found a set of BFG KDWs that I picked up cheap for the front so I'd like to match the rears however I'm having a hard time finding KDWs in 19" sizes.

Here's the catch, hey might or might not be a 3-piece wheel. I'm re-hooping the outside because the lips are trash, so I can go with anywhere from a 10"-12" wheel...that being said, I'd prefer 10.5" with atleast a 305, but like I said I'm having trouble finding a 19" KDW.

Anyone that has any information OR any tire sponsors that would like to chime in would be greatly appreciated.

19" tires are not real popular, especially in wide widths. I have a hard time finding stuff above 275. There are some in 285/295/305 widths, but the selection is dramatically reduced and the price is well above $400 a tire.

Could always go with a R888. Seems to be the best option in a 19" tire.

Any chance they make a BFG in a 19" size? I haven't seen anything other than a 295...

I think I might have to sell these front tires and go with a completely different tire...crap...

Only issue there is you need to run a 12" wide rim and you will have to do more than just 'massage' the inner wells and fenders to get them to fit and they are almost 2" taller than factory tires, so you will have issues with ABS and traction control if that's something that matters to you.

I may or may not hate you, and you may or may not be a sleazy bitch.

Nice wheels. We have similar tastes.

I have seen the Invo's, however I am just not a fan of the tread pattern. I like the NT05's and 555's, but not those.

At this point though I don't think I'm going to have many more options...

This coming from the guy that just got tehsex in blew. haha.

I'm thinking about replacing the outter barrels making the wheels 11-11.5" having a 3.5-4" lip. I'll probably make the centers semi-gloss black as well. It's a winter project, so we'll see how it goes...

Hahaha thanks Travis.

That's the direction I would take them as well. You'll have to mini-tub with that setup though. Do you want to take it in that direction?

I knew you could not resist the temption of running 19's again
Once you roll 19's everything else just starts looking too small.

I was like you and sold my 19's and got 18's and now going back up to 19's again.
