245/40/19 should be good for you.

thank you, but on tirerack i cant find the tire size for the "40" within the measurements. 245/35/19 does it make a big difference?

There's plenty of tires in the 245/40 size.

I wouldn't go with a smaller sidewall, the 245/40 is only a 0.33% difference over stock

Talking New suspension needed!! 1-1.5 inch drop.

Gotta love the gold touch, basically the end result of my new ride.
I think i need to get bigger tires, and i am definetly gonna drop it, gotta suck up that gap...any good drop springs used by anyone?

I forgot the website that has good drop springs for our ride, i think it is called 3800 performance.com. It has a lot of suspension parts for our cars, especially if your car has the 3.8 engine. It is mostly a Pontiac site, but it is all the same. I think that is what it was called. Bigger tires will also help with the look, overall.
