Default Need new tires noob question

So the other day I have a blow as im driving and thankfully my car or rim sustained no damage.
However, I realized I need to replace all tires. I currently have Work VArianza t1s wheels 19'' 9.5 in the fronts and 10.5 in the rears. Im running 245/35/19 in the fronts and 275/30/19 in the rears. The tires are too stretched for me and I some thicker tires.
What would you guys recommend as far as tires sizes to look for.
my ride is not lowered nor do I have the fenders rolled. Im currently running on the stockers.
I would be thankful for the info. -BH

Then go 10 20 30 mm wider. Whatever you want. That's at least 9 possible combinations. Plug in the numbers here: http://www.dakota-truck.net/TIRECALC/tirecalc

what offset are your wheels? That will help determine how wide you can go.

You could always go with the normal, standard upgrade rear tire size. 275/35-19 its even the proper height for your car and VDC/TCS friendly

sorry I dont know much about the wheel specs guys. is there a thread that already has been created that breaks down the whole explaination of offsets? Something that would explain everything about wheels for me and the rest of the members who are Still too green.

thanks to you all here at this forum for steering the rest of us in the right direction..otherwise we would be totally lost.
