front 19x8 ET 20-26 rear 19x9 ET 20, both gets your car right to the fender.

I'm running 19x8.5 ET 28 F, 19X9.5 ET 16 R, the above will be aggressive, but won't look too staggered, it'll be almost dead even front and back.

wasted tires in a hurry. I'm running 235/35/19's on my car and the ride is only a little stiffer than on my 225/45/17 Pirelli's. I use 39psi front and 37psi rear to avoid wheel damage. I'm on Yokohama AVS Sports which are just a bit loud on the freeway, but the grip is excellent. I had thought of trying the SO3's but Bridgestone discontinued them in 235/35/19, which I believe was due to sidewall issues. The 235's are within allowable variance for your computer so the car won't have any problems with the O/D change. You're speedo will be off by just a bit though.

I can hook you up with my tire guy if you want to by the Yoko's at wholesale. If you've got any questions, give me a call in the office. I'm in Portland Oregon, the number is 503-226-4018. Go cruise my Fotki account if you want to see how they look on the car. Here's one shot so you can see the tread/basic look.
