what are your guys thoughts? Im wanting as much traction on the street as possible. Im a stalled a4, but will have a drag set for the track.
oh and these are the wheels
Keep your negative comments about 19" wheels out of my thread please

FWIW: I've got 275/35 18's on the front of mine and they have a nice flat sidewall to em. 
on an 18 x 10" front wheel. 19's would look nice though. I like big wheels, but not donk big.

Front and rear 18x9.5 and I have 265/35/18 falken fronts and they are a little stretched 
and 275/35/18 kumho rear that have a flat sidewall. I'm gonna get 19x10 in the back later on and try to run a 295/35/19 which should bulge or be flat and put 275s back on the front.

18*9 in the front with 275/35/18 and 19*10 in the rear with 285/35/19. not liking the tires I have as the side wall is not flat and makes them seem skinny. gonna go with a 295 in the rear (kdwII) later this summer

Im going to have to agree to FordHater. 285/35/19 and 245/40/18. Thats the set up I have on my T/A, in Pirelli Pzero Rosos. Same size tire as the the base model C6 Coupe. So tires are pretty easy to find.

So does anyone know how much taller of a tire I can get away with before it realy effects the abs and speedo? stock is 25.59" a 295/35/19 is 27" that to me seems like a big difference.
