do they clear the rears?
my rims (XXR559) clear the front calipers but kinda not really i had to grind my caliper to make it fit on the rear
They are. But my point is that @dance.parrot should make sure to test fit the rear as well since I actually struggled there more

Thanks for the suggestion - rears clear the Dekagram 19x9.5 Profile B with room to spare.
I don't have the tires mounted yet. Here's the test-fit photo in a poorly lit environment (the white lip is just plastic for protection during transport).
To follow up on this, I've done 5-6 track days on my Trofeo's now and maybe 1000 street miles, and have been really satisfied. I still might try Cup 2's next just to compare, but it will probably depend on which is cheaper. The Trofeo's price seem to fluctuate a lot on tirerack.
I can get 1.4G's out of them consistently and they are lighter (24lbs) and wider (9.9" tread) than similarly sized tires (265/35/19).
Hot lap from a recent track day:
Went with 18x9.5+35 Dekagram Type A on P3D-.
Reused stock lugnuts with a non-impact socket, carefully... An impact socket would have been impossible to use. Maybe a good theft deterrent? lol
73.1 to 64.1mm hub ring on order. Installed without them for now. The bigger M14 studs just being in the holes do almost center the wheel .

No wheel spacers... The front inside wheel lip is so close to the vertical from arm! Amazed it fits.

I bought the dekagrams in this size but the rear grinds a tiny bit on the caliper and also on this ear I posted
Weird, first I've heard of one of these having clearance problems. Is it grinding the caliper on the barrel or on the face? You sure they are the A profile?
They are the A profile for sure. I think that knuckle was hitting a wheel weight and the caliper was barely grinding the inner barrel. Going back out to try againedit* went back out and pretty sure the rear caliper is hitting a wheel weight in the middle of it and just barely touching the wheel in the back part of caliper. and the front wheel is just barely rubbing knuckle at the top. Looks like a small spacer is needed in front. Probably the thinnest spacer would even work. The 19 and up wouldn't have the issue because of the way the knuckle curves the higher diameter the more space you have there
