Yes.

Also, I'd be willing to sell my Evo's 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 with Dunlop tires. Looking to get some CCW's...

I have the HP 18s w/ polished lip. Has anyone with these wheels had problems with them denting when the tires are installed? Polished or machined lip.

probably the tire in the back. Its a little too tall. I got the set used, so its not the optimal size. Its a 285/40/19. Way too big. I think it will look better when I get a 30 series tire on it, so it isn't so much taller than the front.

Yeah a 30 will be better...and i think SSNISTR is talking about the front tires. Look too wide for the wheel...

I agree. They are a 285. They will be getting replaced with a 255 or 265. Should make a noticable difference as well. Anyone want to buy 2 Michelin Pilot Sports (285/35/18) with about 70% tread remaining? lol

its all about the tire size....if ya get the right tire size than the Rim will look good no matter what size it is. i drove in my buddies car with 19's and it rode like a tank...not very comfortable IMO. i got 18's..
