yeah the 19's will fit provided the offset is 40 give or take a couple. Go with the 235 35 19 tire I know pirelli make one as well as continental and yoko. I personally would stay away from the pirell p7000's, as i am using them now and dont like them. I am gonna try the sport contacts next.

My friend just got those for his Acura Legend

They look really nice but I would personally stick to 18's. The ride is really really ****ty with rubberband tires now. I could feel every little pebbles on the road and his car feels like its going to fall apart everytime he hits a bump on the road. And the tires are very $$$. And they weigh so much that his car feels really sluggish now. If you want your car slammed get the Cattman coilovers or GroundControl for 4" Drop. 235/35/19 is the correct sized tires.

I agree p7000 sux, too hard! cheap though.

Sport contacts sux bad!!!!!!! I peeled the treads (on 3 different tires) right off in high speed off ramps.

Try Bridgestone SO2, or the newer michellins.

If slightly lower end $ try dunlop sp9000, a tad "looser" tire but better miledge and in rain. Or the older sp8000 is good too.
