Opinions for Tire Size
Looking to get the correct tire size to avoid any rubbing issues. Or any issues at all for that matter. The thicker the side wall the better for those potholes.
The car will be lowered on coilovers (likely BC Racing). Since it's a daily driver, will probably leave 1.5 finger space all around. Need to be able to clear speed bumps and driveways.
Wheels are 19 x 8.5 +30, 19 x 9.5 +35
Front tires: 235/35/19
Rear tires: Thinking about 255/35/19
But...what about 265/35/19
So..... 255/35 or 265/35 for the rear???
Thanks.

225/35 245/35 or 255/35. Really depends how low you're gonna go, but that setup should be fine since it really isn't that aggressive. Roll your fenders just in case. ;P
Edit: jk. forgot that you're leaving 1.5 finger gap. Fender work ain't necessary.

^^^ Don't want any rolling of fenders
Just stock without any rubbing or fitment issues. Basically, what is the widest and thickest (side-wall) tires I can get without having to do any adjustments?

Would the FRONT tires be too aggressive if I went with
235/35/19?
Will i have fitment and rubbing issues vs 225/35/19? Can will be lowered on coils just to remove some of the gap space, but not even close to slammed or tucked.

Run 225/35.
I was thinking of 235/35 at first and i'm glad i didn't because im tucked and I rub with a 19x8.5 with a 38mm offset.
Its a tiny stretch but its alot better than having the 235/35 and rubbing alot.

I think that 235/35 is probably going to rub. Look through the linea corse wheel thread. At first alot of guys ordering 19x8.5+30 for the fronts had rubbing issues when running 235/35 up front with moderate drops. 225/35 is a better option to keep from rubbing, and well within the 8.5 width spec.
