No 19" sizes. Largest size you will find is 335/30-18.
FYI... to those of you who want R compound tires for the track or strip, before you plunk down money on the "cool" wheels, make sure you can get the tires to fit. Race tires are very specialized and come in very general sizes. I.E. 15" is most common size for drag tires. If you have 16 or 17" you are limited to just a few sizes, and usually those are bigger than what will fit on a street car, uless it has been tubbed.
As for track tires, Most sizes are available up to 18" sizes but at that size you are limited as well. I can't tell you how many calls I get from people saying I have 18" wheels and I need slicks. Well... not many choices unless you are a professional motorsports team, because these tires are usually only given to teams under contract.
