Default Best tire option for my new wheels?? HELP!

Ok so heres the deal, I ordered a set of Work VS-XX in gold 19x9.5 +19 front 19x11 +23 rear. They have now arrived and I need your help on which tire size is best fit for these wheels. I'm dropping the car on tanabe gf-210's which is a 1.0 front and 1.2 rear drop, and my fenders aren't rolled YET but I think I will need to get that done because I'm sure the wheels will rub. Any help will be truely appreciated. Give me all ur opinions on stretched tires and meaty tires it doesn't matter im open to anything, I just want what looks best for my car.

275 mm in the rear. Roll the fenders. Get some serious negative camber. This is just for show right? I mean you don't really intend to drive this abomination.

I think Alvin was running 11s with similar offset and 285s. I could be wrong though. Definately gonna need to roll the fenders.

How the fug is a 11" with a 23 offset going to fit?

That sticks out 18mm further than my 10.5 with 35 offset. I had to roll my fenders a tiny bit and have too much negative camber to get the tires to clear.

I need 295's bad.

19x11+23 will fit easily with rolled fenders. Run a 285/35/19 rear or 295/30/19, roll and slightly pull your fenders, run ~-2.0 camber and it will work easily. We made AlvinhuyN's 19x11+17 fit with plenty of clearance with those settings. Don't even try to put them on without a roll though, it won't even be close to clearing
