305/30/19 is indeed the best choice.

If you need a quote for the wheels, please let me know.

That is a front-rear circumference difference of 4.7% which is significant. I think most of the people running 325's are doing so on 20' wheels with different front tire options. I think it was discussed in some previous threads that front-rear differences of more than 4% can cause some significant issues.

I just don't think most people would want to run Sport Cups on street wheels...I think that combo you said will work, but in street radials the 305/30 and 235/35 is still the best choice. This is the same type of setup the GT3 uses (except in Pilot Sport Cups) with the 305/30 on the 12" rear rim.
