Default Need help with tire size for 19's!

I just got Maya STM wheels in 19x9 (+30) and 19x10.5 (+29)
I was thinking of getting 255/35 and 295/35 tires. Will this be a good combo? How many people are running this size tire on there car. A lot of people are saying to get 245/35 and 275/35 tires, but I think that will be too small on a 10.5" rear tire. BTW my car will be lowered with tein coilovers.

Thanks for the help,

Not sure about the front, but I think you will have problems with 295's on the rear. I have 275's on the rear, and it is close (lowered with Eibachs). You probably will have to roll the fender.

I was thinking of cutting the fender instead (rolling can cause paint chipping)
How wide is your rear wheel btw? I just wanna make sure their is enough rubber to protect the wheel. Thats why I was thinking of a 295 instead of a 275.

However the tire choices for a 295/35/ZR19 suck, I've been trying to find BF Goodrich G-force T/A KDW NT tires in that size and no one has them.

I have 19 x 8.5 with 245/35-19 front and 19 x 9.5 with 275/35-19 rear. The number that you should be conserned about protecting the wheel is the aspect ratio (ie: in my tires = 35), more so than the width (245 and 275)...

295 on the rear will fit with some major fender rolling. Tire Rack was running 295's or even larger on their red Brembo car @ SEMA a few years back. And since you have adjustable coilovers, height shouldn't be much of a problem.

so maybe a 285 would work better or should I just play it safe and go with a 275?
