Default sizing question

Would a 19x10 with 275/30/19 tire and 20mm offset or 15mm offset fit all around without fender roll?

So which is it that you are asking about: Are you planning a 20mm offset or 15mm offset?

Both will fit, but why would you run front tires on the rear , the rear tire height should be 275/35-19, the inch shorter tire , just doesnt fill the wheelwell.

OK… I’ll offer these comments, but probably another responder will have a different opinion.

10” wide wheels on the front are too wide, even with a 22mm offset. A 15mm offset with 10” wide wheels on the front would be comical. But, it won’t rub.

If you go too wide on the front (and 275mm is wide), and you have any weakness in your suspension (i.e., wimpy or worn suspension parts), you will experience bump-steer and wandering at highway speed.

On the rear, 10” wide wheels with a 22mm offset should be fine, but a 15mm might require rolling the rear fenders. A 275mm wide tire is a good choice for the rear, but you should go with 275/35-19” (as terramask mentions) instead of the 30 aspect ratio you are considering for the rear. 275/30-19” on the rear will look small and may interfere with VDC (if you have that).

ok, so do you think a 19x9.5 in the front would be good. what offset range would you suggest with a 9.5 inch wheel in the front to be okay? i had no idea about getting a 35 series tire in the back thanks for the help. But what about a 295/35, wouldn't that look just too beefy of a sidewall. if i moved up to 295 for the rear, should i get a 30 series tire? plus i read in car magazine that running 18x9.5 and 285 tire all around makes for the best handling in a Z car. they put it to the test with stock suspension and everything. and they pulled over 1G on the skid with just a wheel swap. which is kinda why i wanted to go that route. i only have 13k miles on my z, so suspension wearing shouldn't be a problem, and i only put around 2k miles a year on her.

295/30 would be proper with a 275/30 front. The normal 9.5 front and 10.5 would be great. Offsets for these wheel sizes and tire sizes you would want to be in the 20 to 25 range.
