Depends on brand of tires but id do 245/35 front and 265/35 rear or possibly 255 35 275 35.

I realize people usually go with a smaller offset, but I'm not looking for anything very aggressive (in fact I rather like the stock stance) and I'm not planning on lowering. I'm definitely NOT trying to get the wheels flush with the fenders.
As for tires, Tirerack recommends 225/40 and 245/40 but that seems quite narrow. I've used the wheel calculator and it looks like that setup maintains the right overall diameter and everything though.
What tire sizes do you guys recommend for this setup? I realize without spacers or a smaller offset I might be limited on tire width. I'm not going for a "fat" or "stretched" look. Just a nice vertical sidewall, if that makes any sense.
Also, I have a base model so I have a bit more flexibility when it comes to mixing and matching sizes.
Thanks for the input!

If you want subtle/conservative, go with 9.5 and offsets in the mid 20s. +38 is too high for a z aesthetically.
so I've been looking on the form for a while now and i haven't found any answers, so if you're gonna comment on how this has been answered or you can find the answer here or blah blah blah then, i really did try so if you're not commenting to be friendly and help then dont bother commenting at all please.. on that note:
i just ordered a set or 19x9.5+0 and 19x11+0 varrosten es2's for my 350z. i have Ksport coil overs, a fender roll/pull, and am currently running -3 camber in back and -1 in front. I came from the chicago suburbs where roads werent an issue but just moved away for college and need to raise the car a little and get some higher profile tires so these rims dont get dinged up liek my rezaxs unfortunately did.. so my question to you guys is this, what tire size would you guys run those rims (the es2's) to still keep the car low, but not have it as low as it is now. Im gonna raise the suspension up also so i should have a little more clearance i would think. so yeah, what would you guys recommend for a low look but just not as low as it is now. heres the car they're going on. if you need anymore info, just let me know.
If it were me, I'd see it 4 ways;
1. 245/40 and 275/35
2. 245/35 and 275/30
3. 255/40 and 285/35
4. 255/35 and 285/30
Personally, I like a wider tire setup not that stretch nonsense. If you have camber arms you'll have a little more play to work with. I'd probably going with option 2 because it's the safest bet for each direction and still within the 3%.
Depends on how high you are going to raise it up. I have the same offset and sizes on my ES6s and am running 235/35/19 and 255/35/19. I could have went with a 265 in the rear. I have yet to have an issue.

where are you from, and what are the roads like? see im from iowa, where we have potholes and unlevel roads etc. im not trying to avoid driving carefully, but theres instances around here where driving carefully still doesnt avoid slamming my subframe on the ground or having my tire rub while going over a small bump haha. and btw, is there tire stretch on your setup, if so how much? sorry im on my phone so i cant reeally tell.

None of those are within 3% and will all cause TCS/VCD and potential ABS problems
Let me properly redo your list
1 245/35 and 275/35
2. Same as above
3. 255/35 and 285/35
4. Same as above
5. 255/35 and 275/35 work great too.
265/30 and 285/30 will also work
You are mounting relatively wide wheels, so I would go with the wider tires your wheels allow. I agree with terrasmak’s suggestion (terrasmak said¨”265/30 and 285/30 will also work”).
I need some help if you can in locating an out of production rim.
Hey Guys,
I need some help if you can in locating an out of production rim. Does anyone know of a set / single of Konig Appeals (19 inch) for sale? I had a car fire which destroyed one of my rims beyond repair.
I am willing to pay a finders fee of 100 dollars to anyone that can help me find/purchase at least 2 of these rims 19 x 8.5 or 9.
Thanks for your time.
David.

Terra hit the nail on the head here.
I ran 245/35 275/35 for a while and the car wasn't very low at all with that height, and I was able to run -3R, -1.5F.
I later went to 235/35 and 255/35 and spaced out to zero offset in the rear and +3 up front and had to do a VERY slight pull up front and a pretty decent pull in the rear.
Alright guys - this question or something similar may have already been answered, but it is super time consuming digging through all of these pages trying to find an answer. I'm going with a custom wheel setup and this is what I have so far.
Wheel specs I'm looking at are 19x9 +17 with 255/35 and 19x11 +20 with 285/35 -
The care has no current fender work - Lowered on Coilovers 1.9 and 2 inches rear and front.
My question is will I need to get my fenders rolled with this setup and can I run stock or near stock camber - it doesn't seem super aggressive on paper but I'm seeing mixed reviews throughout this thread - help a brother out! Also if those can I get any lower of offsets without a lot of fender work with that wheel and tire sizing?

Since your talking about average tire sizes, I'm moving this over to the 19 inch wheel thread
Lowered 2 inches with a 285/35 will require a roll for sure. I have a 19x11 +12 275/35 and even with a roll, I am very close to the fender. Factoring the 10mm wider tire giving you less stretch and the 8mm of offset difference, I don't see a way that you wouldn't have to roll the fender.

Are you lowered at all? Honestly, I'm probably going to re-think how low I am and maybe go to the lower end of an inch. Do you have pic of your car?
