Thanks Dave. Maybe spacers all around - I've got some that I will be trying here shortly.

I also need to get my tips blacked-out as well. Looking for a place local that does ceramic coating.
I got mine done by RSS. Shipping wasnt bad actually and they came out flawless.

Awesome. Regarding the tips, before you ceramic coat you ought to try the diy rattle can, high heat header paint sold at autozone. Its pretty flat, but the paint goes on super easy and the finish on my tips (daily commuter at 50 miles per day) is still perfect. Just lightly sand the chrome then spray!

Thanks - ride is just like any other 19" wheel combination. There is a trade-off between looks and ride quality when you go from 18" - 19".
