255/275 or 245/275 will give you a nice stretch, and will look good.

well then 235/40 & 255/40 or you could try 245/35 and 265/35 to be safe and if you want more or less then sell and go the direction you prefer.
nothing wrong with proper fitment or fat tires if that's what you like, not going to knock you for it. I prefer it stretched that's all. don't understand why those that don't like it have to get their panties in a bunch all the time.

anyways good luck op

A 275 is stretched a bit on a 10.5 inch wheel , so is a 255 on a 9.5, its just not stupid stretch like you get with a 215 on a 9.5 and other gayness on a 10.5

10.5 rear I'd go 295 or even 305, (i got 285 on 10.0 with 38 offset, and looks hot imo).
Honestly, go 295/35/19 in rear, and 265/40/19 in front man. My imho.

Why would you do that, our cars already push so back and them change the tire stagger to make it worse. If you want a 295 in the back , run a minimum of 265 or prefured 275 up front.

I'm in same position 19x9.5&10.5 +14/0, but why would u run minimum of 265 or 275?

And why would u need spacers? Should be out enough already...

Tires change the handling, the wider the tire in the rear the more the rear traction, the wider the front tire the more front traction. It you run a 295mm wide rear tire, I would run a minimim of 265 front tire to keep the car from pushing badly in the corners. Basically the same think i mentioned about.

Spacers, probably needed if he goes for a narrow tire option. Basically anything smaller than a 275 rear and 245 front.

True I have 235/275 and I plowed a bit when I over shot a tight corner....
I'd still rather get a smaller tire in the rear to even that out.. Rather than a larger front. I dont track much and I like the look.

I was hoping you would chime in Ian. Definitely go with Ian's recommendation. I've seen his ride in person and its beautiful:

If you want a little stretch, what is there to think about? 245/35 275/35. I would personally go with 255/35 285/35.

255/285 or 265/295. You're at +14, it won't be very aggressive and you won't have trouble running a little extra meat. I'd go for an aggressive meaty look if I was in your shoes. Stretch is ehh unless you're running stupid wide like 19x12 -6 lol. Just my opinion.
