with 19's you would have no tire left, and 18's you have next to no tire left, its just too big, there are a coupple of guys with 18's but not many, 16's ot 17's are way way way more suited for the 3.

If those are indeed 19's on that one car, they can't possibly be the right size ratio tire. There's more meat on them than on your 18 pics. It's obviously just for show.
Proper size for the V6 would be 205-30-19 or about a 225-25-19.
It'd be straight up all radial bands above the rim. The only air would be the cavity in the rim. Which wouldn't matter because the rim would be bent in all of a week even on decent streets.
Newer cars can do 18's to 20's because the total outside diameters of todays car tires are much larger. Our cars were early 90's platforms, and 16's were considered huge then. The total outside diameter is just not big enough to accomodate it. If your car is straight up show, 17's will work OK. If you are going to race and/or daily driving, I'd suggest some nice 16's.

My ride with 18's. Ive had them on for about 6 months and to me theres not much difference then when I had the 17's. 19's would be a lil to much though. Definately not a daily driver if you have 19's on it.
