Default 275/35/19 tire on a 19x9.5 +45 wheel?

Rear wheels only!

I've been searching long and hard and haven't been able to find a definitive answer to this. It looks like 265/30/19 is the most popular choice for this size wheel but I'd like to get as much sidewall as possible. I've also read that 275/30/19 is fine and doesnt' rub but what about 275/35/19? I'd really hate to run 255/35/19 in the back, but that's my last option because there aren'ty any 265/35/19 tires that I like to match up.

Thats too big of a tire. If you must run it that fat in the rear, make it a 275/30

thanks for the reply.
but won't a pair of 255/35 have more sidewall than 275/30?

Did you have to roll the fenders?

I had a 275/30/19 32+ with fender roll. I think you can do it if you don't plan on slamming it and roll your fenders.

with the lc818's at 19x10 +38 in the rear, you don't have to roll your fenders. According to zoeb you just have to push the inner fender lining in slightly and call it a day.
