Default What tyres on 19x8.5 and 19x10

Hay
Just ordered sum wheels at 19x8.5 front and 19x10 rear offset 35 all round
I am wondering what tyres people fit! The arches are not rolled atm and the car is 3 inches lowered at the moment.
What tyres sizes would people use?
Thanks in advance yorkie

I have 19x8.5 +35 and 19x10.5 +40, so same front specs and my rears are just barely more aggressive than yours (by like 2mm)... I run a 225/35 and 255/35. Fenders are not rolled, and I do not rub... but I am not 3" lowered. I am more like 1.75" lowered.

You may need narrower tires for being that low, and maybe camber to fit the wheel since you must be tucking the wheel a little with a 3" drop?
