Nicky Bobby is right: if you dont do the strut mod to run 2.5+ F camber, you will wear out the outside shoulders fast and *also* you will have a diminished contact patch and less grip. So running the 19 rims won't achieve any good purpose here and to the contrary, it will be counter productive to your finances *and* performance.
So id suggest you have a decision to make:
1. Do the strut mod, max the camber on stock bolts to 2.5-2.6, get longer studs and thicker spacer, etc. Then you can decide how fast a tire you wanna run and how much money you wanna spend on rubber. If very good, but not ultimate pace is ok, then you could simply run G3s and put a harder compound on your stock rims for DD. This would be the best blend of performance to cost imo. But if course if you want to spend more, other choices are readily available. Or:
2. If you dont want to grind the strut, sell the 19s and run the car with stock rims, but max the front camber per the above (with zero necessary mods to anything). G3 tire is VERY good and priced VERY well and you could also run RE71R in 295/30/20 square for a bit more $, which is still great for DD and track, but would also give you an extra edge at autox (as they warm up super fast). Heck, you could even try G3Rs as they come in SS 1LE sizes as well (but that's more $ and much shorter longevity).
Cheers!
