You have the right tire size...

When I switched from OEM 18's to my 19 Y-Spokes the gap was more visually pronounced and I think this is what you're observing.

As stated in my earlier post, i have installed the front eibach springs which lowered the front by 1.2" and lowered the rear by 1" via DIS.

Can you kindly post pics of your wheel gap.

Thanks!

Same here!I just took off 17"s and installed 19"s and the wheel gap is exactly the same!The 19"s in fact seem to fill the wheelarch better!
