I'm not sure what the delta is on the change in clearance from normal ride height to lowered, but regardless, it's going to be freaking close with the F14's protruding 19mm closer to those trailing arms.

Talk to Rand49er--he has a lot of experience with this and can set you straight.

Ok. Well I'd like to run a wide tire out back so if i need to get trailing arms to do so, i will. I guess ill search online to get an idea of what i'd be looking to spend on them. If those are the only issue with clearance, id rather just upgrade them to avoid tearing up the wheels/tires.

I haven't seen it but ill look. Thats not bad at all. I dont think ill need anything extreme. Just need something that will clear those wide 19's with about a 295/30 on them.

I couldn't agree more. But at 35, I'm closest to OEM diameter. And I don't need to tell you that it's 35% of 275. I think I lose about 1/2" on the sidewall height compared to OEM tires, which is about .10" off from what I lose on the front tires (245/40-19).
But back to your point...I absolutely HATE too small or too large sidewall. I just don't think this will have that look. I'll do a little more research.

This guy on Vette forums was using 245/35/19 (19x8.5 38et) and 275/30/19 (19x10 44et). I guess the thing I'd question is whether or not 275 is wide enough to get a straight sidewall instead of the turtle action.
