Default Thickest sidewall I can get on my 19's?

I daily drive my GS, and I have unfortunately bent one of my 20's as well as one of my 19's. I was thinking of throwing my 18's on there and raising the car a bit, but I really want to put my new 19's on. I just want to make sure they stay safe though.
What size tire can I go with to get maximum side wall? I'm not afraid to raise the car up a bit if I have to.

The wheels are 19x9.5 F, 19x10.5 R +22 all the way around.

Technically, you can put as thick of a tire as you want as long as it'll fit. However, unless you don't mind your speedo being off, I'd stick to 35-series in the front and either 35- or 30-series in the rear depending on width.
