Default Close-up pics of 19" wheel/tire setup.

I hope I'm not making a Noob error here but I have been trying to find some pictures with specs. of 19" setups without much luck.

I'm in the market for 19's but I am not sure what tire size I want. This is my daily driver. I don't want stretched, but I also want to go low and close to flush (I know this may sound confusing but I think pictures will help).

I would like to see close-up pics of 19's (stretched or not)
If there is a thread already showing this, please post a link.

Thanks guys!

Again, please post the pic along with the wheel/tire spec. so I can see what the specs look like together and what clearances you have.
Thanks again.

19's with 245/35, fully lowered on Tein CST

its going to depend on the offsets and camber, and if you want to mod the fenders. those are as important as stretch. if you run more camber, or shave your fenders, you can still have reasonably big tyres and clear. Also, obviously the size depends on the rim size. e.g. i have 235/35 on 9 which is a mild but visible stretch, and 245/35 on 10 which is much more of a stretch with rim exposed. It also depends on what brand of tyre you get as some run wider than others e.g. Nexen are narrow, and Federals are wide.

edit: images

245/35 on 10", Nexen N3000 tyres, -2.1 camber, guards rolled 1/2 flat



235/35 on 9", Nexen N3000, -2 camber, guards rolled 3/4 flat
