For a base line start, I recommend:

19x8.5 +35 +235/35/19
19x9.5 +35 +255/35/19

Looks quite flush with mild to medium drop (1 - 1.5 inches of drop---that is).

No streched tires.

No fender mod.

This setup is about "on the edge" of "no-fender-mod-required". Anything more aggressive, you will start to need to roll, shave, relocate, hammer, grind etc...your fenders.

Yesss, you can always go more agressive like 9.0" Front 10"Rear +20 to +30 offset but you always have to compromise with narrower tires and more fender mod.
