Default need your guys help

i could use your guys help/advise here.

i really want to run a 19/18 setup with a 27 inch rear tire. that means either a 255/35 on a 19x8 or a 275/35 on a 19x10 or 19x9. the problem is i can't fit a 19x10 and nobody makes a 19x9 unless i pay $$$ to narrow the 10. something about a 255 rear tire screams rainbow love so i probably wont do that. i really dig the subtle stagger of the 19/18 look.

should i:

a) run a 20/18 setup
b) run 18's all around
c) run a 19/18 with a puny rear tire

someone help me make this call. i need to place my order in the next few days.

I was finally able to borrow a 19x10 and it fits with the tire I want.

Wheels ordered. Will post pics once they arrive. I'm stoked.

Thanks for the help.
