Of those choices, the only one that makes sense is the first one. the 30 series are not the right diameter.

Your other 35 series choice will be pinched but would work but i wouldnt do it.

However i didnt pay attention to your offsets

285/35 255/35 combo should work and 275/35 and 245/35 is more ideal for your narrow wheels.

255/35/19 and 285/35/19, widest possible tires to safely fit on those widths

with a 285 tire on the rear is that gonna make them bulge out or will it fit pretty good? I also want the best tires for no oversteer and very little understeer thanks for the help thus far guys.

i was just thinking about keeping the 20mm stagger from stock? wouldnt that be best or not? wouldnt that setup increase understreer? sorry for my ignorance but like i said dont know much about tires anything that has to do with suspension or handling lol. thanks for the patient good replys so far.

What they suggested is the proper sizing for plus one tire sizing.
I believe you mentioned the other thread that you were getting an aftermarket suspension. If you get a coilover with adjustability, then you can dial in your height and dampening settings to help reduce/increase oversteer/understeer.

I selected the first choice: They will fit better, the extra width will just add weight and rolling resistance unless you really need that traction, in which case you should get some better tires.
