Why would you use 19's over 18's?

This is a picture thread so I won't even answer that. Besides J12's aren't offered in 18.
Someone's posted pictures of the J12 on an R8! http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=668938 |

They are not allowed to use r-comps during the OLoA. I also believe the treadwear rating has to be at least 200 which excludes the use of extreme performance tires as well.

Thanks. That explains a lot. I don't know if I'd want to go 200mph on street tires though!!!

They look AWESOME on the R8. I think the M3 fitment will have more concavity
Yes street tires only... I think 140 treadwear is the lowest. I'll be running PSS which should be ok up to 200mph Actually PSS's have "race compound" on the outer shoulders! |

These are made by HRE?
Damn, only car i'd really want over my M3 is R8. I don't even need the V10. I can't be alone, because they hold their value pretty damn good. .
