quick question for you wheel/tire gurus
i decided on going with some wheels that are going to be 19X8.5 in the front and 19X9.5 in the rears with +25mm offset all around. whats the widest(or should i say "most aggressive" tire set-up id be able to go without rubbing and/or rolling fenders? im going to be running on either tanabe gf210's or nismo type s springs as well. ill also be using this set-up for daily driving...just in case that comes in to play. any help is appreciated
eh. unfortunately the wheels i ended up going with only offer those specs so im trying to compensate with wider tires...something that will look flush or atleast somewhat flush...i was thinking maybe 255/30/19 in the front and 285/30/19...would that look ok? or would 245/30/19 and 275/30/19 look better?
redlude97 offers accurate advice:
You won't be able to mount tires so wide that they will rub on the wheels you plan using.

I'd stick with the typical 245/35, 275/35 setup with those widths. You could also do 255/35, 285/35 if you want a little wider tires. 35 series is closer to the stock diameter. It has already been mentioned, but the limiting factor is wheel width - you will have plenty of tire clearance.

If your concern is "ride comfort," you should choose a tire with greater sidewall height; and maybe go to an 18" wheel size.
I might be missing your point/question.
