Thanks for the compliment as I did alot of research for the right look. I was abit scared of how it would actually look since I couldn't get a "real" photo of the wheel to photoshop. Anyhow, I'm running 245/40/19 - 8.5 in the front and 275/35/19 - 9.5 in the back. The ride is awesome since the tires are really quiet, running Toyos T1-R's. I had to roll the fenders since my friend who owns an auto shop insisted that the wheel folks would make sure the offset would work without rolling the fender. So, fenders are now rolled and there is no rubbing. I haven't taken hard turns yet or had a packed car but we'll see.
Generally, with that set up you want to go with front 245/35/19 and rear 275/30/19. If you're worried about the ride quality, I can guarantee you, you will not notice the difference.
245/40/19 vs. 245/35/19 = 0.485" height difference
275/35/19 vs. 275/30/19 = 0.54" height difference
I don't want to spoil the party, but if you had used the above tire set up, you wouldn't have had to roll fenders or worry abount rubbing at all.

Looks really, really nice. Well done! I especially like that lip spoiler.
Regarding the sidewall height: I side with killerlexus. 30-series tires provide too short a sidewall for the street IMHO. Plus they look a little funny on a 275 mm width tire. I'd much rather roll my fenders and have a little more usable sidewall.

clean and simple, I like. That spoiler, isn't it like 600 bucks? I liek those wheels. I am thinking about getting some 19 inch ssr sp1 which sort of look like that. That is if I can find them for a deal.
very very clean. Whats the offset on those wheels. I would like to go 9.5 in the rears too but I get so many diffrent answers on the offsets. I like how its flush with the fenders.

Well done. I love the hunkered down look.
