Default Got some questions about new shoes

Here are the specs of the rims :19x9 offsets +30 in the front and 19x10 offset +29 in the rear. Now my question for you tire guru's is what size tire should I run in order to not have much of the rim lip hanging out? Also anyone know if I'm going to have to use a camber kit just lowering the car with springs and thinking about going with the Tein H-tech springs so hopefully I won't have any rubbing issues or if you guys have better suggestions I'm all ears. Any other advice would be greatly appreciated as well. Thanks!! Here's some pics of the set I got can't wait for them to get here!!

Front 9 inches rear 10 inches is pretty common. Just run an absurd stretch so it looks cool.

Those sizes and offsets allow you a lot of options for tires sizing. 245/275 would be the most common, but you could run larger as well.

If you do go stretched, be advised that your gf or best buddy will curb your new wheels if you let them drive your car.

Darn! The wheels look so good when not mounted, and so ugly when the rims are scratched and rashed.

Hold off on the camber kit. If you have a problem tucking the top of the wheel under the fender then go with a kit. No point in fixing something that is not broken.

I was joking about the stretched tires I'm really not sure what to use. Just really don't want the lip of the rim hanging out and for sure when these get on my car will be off limits to anyone else driving

Normal fitment , get 245 255 265 or 275's up front and 275 , 285 or even 295's for the rear. Just pair then where you have a 20mm difference between front and back in width.

There is also a touch of sarcasm in my "stretch" comment. A performance set up would be a 10 inch wheel with a 285 mm tire. Not sure that will fit under the car.
