Default What sized tire for my wheels?

I just bought 19x9.5 +22 and 19x10.5 +22. I had a question regarding what size tire to fit. I've been searching and i really couldnt find anything to help other than looking at others' setups.

I want a flush look, nothing stretched nor bulging out of the rim. I was thinking:

295/30 in rear - 275/30 in front
or
285/30 rear - 265/30 in front

Any opinions?

I'm shocked you couldn't find any info on this topic. This wheel setup is the most common aftermarket setup for the Z...

fronts: 245/35 or 255/35

rear: 275/35, 285/35 or 295/30

Wouldnt 255 on the front be stretched a little on a 9.5?

I saw someone write something about the next time he went with tires he would go for 265/35

Yes, they most likely will. Since "stretch" is an opinion AND different tires are slightly different in width. I'd go with the 265/285 or 265/295.
