Coupe 19s on!!!
Got my coupe 19s on yesterday. The shop (Radial Tire Co.) was insanely crowded as usual but they did a good job so all is well.
My G being AWD I went with 245/40/19 all around. I am using Kumho Ecsta LX Platinum tires. Not a traditional tire choice for the G crowd but M+S and 600 treadwear rating did it for me. These babies should last just about forever. They are also very quiet, much quieter than the OEM Goodyears. Cost me $985.40 for all four mounted and balanced. I have a set of coupe OEM sized Toyo T1Rs for sale PM if interested...
I also recently installed the Parrot CK3000 Evolution, pretty pleased with it so far except the no-splice harness has been giving me some trouble. Sometimes the passenger front speaker is very quiet and only acts normally when I move the harness around.
Also made a little holster for my Treo. I bought a $2 belt holster off eBay and sanded off the holster and phone clip, then attached with double sided tape. I also modified the holster to let the phone slide in and out easier. It works great and frees up the cupholder where my phone used to sit.
Also a pic of my 4080 enclosure and amp. I wanted to mount the amp on the back of the seat but it is more difficult than I first thought. So for the time being, the amp is screwed into the carpet. Very ghetto but the amp doesn't move at all. I am using the Image Dynamics IDQ12v3 with an Alpine MRP-M850 which sounds great. The OEM HU allows for very little subwoofer control but it's ok for now.

235/45/18 is almost identical specs to 215/55/17... you will be fine.
