These guys gave me a good 35K+ miles, so I can't complain. But I will say that the road noise got to be a bit much for my taste after about 25K miles. At least for a non-high/ultra performance tire.
I do think it's kinda funny that the doughnut wheel is Continental, lol:

Heh ya man, wedding definitely comes first. I'd agree that upgrading to 19"s would call for a drop as well. What spacers are you planning on running w/ your V708s? IIRC, they are 19x8.5 et38s. 5mm spacers all around?

To be honest, I'm not 100% sure- I'm a bit of an ET moron, lol. Do you think with a 38ET that anything more than 5mm would be too aggressive?

I wouldn't do more than 5mm spacers up front. Since 10mm spacers won't physically work (AFAIK), they're not available to put even on the rears, which would be ideal IMHO. I'm no expert but I think 5mm spacers all around for an et33 would very nice. I run 19x8.5 et32s on all 4 corners and it looks great IMHO. This is w/ 245/35/19 tires btw, not 255/35/19s (which would rub on occasion at that fitment).

Sounds good to me! I'm not sure how soon I'll be able to swing this whole setup, but I'll be sure to let you check out the final product once I do!
