I took mine off my stock 18's and put them on the coupe 19's, they work fine.
The light came on one day I thought it was a fluke but one tire was low. Filled it up and light went away.
But yea that is hott to death!!

If you look at that pic better, notice how there seems to be a diff in how thick the side walls are even thoe they are both 40 series. We will see how the 45 series looks.

) Did you have a chance to weigh the new set up against your stockers? I know the forged coupe wheels saved a few pounds, but tire/wheel combo?
What about noise levels?

Looks good though...this tire definitely takes up a big chunk of that gap and keeps the stock look. Maybe bigger tires on the rear now? 255/45s?
How is the ride on the 245s on the front? Do they feel less responsive?
