Default Rsr super downs with 19" vossens tire question

Hey I'm planning on picking up a set of rsr super downs and running them with the 19" vossen cv3s. I've seen quite a few cars dropped with the regular down springs and while I like the look, I want to go lower. What tire sizes would you guys recommend so I don't rub or have fender issues? I'd like to stretch as least as possible while being able to achieve that look with no rub. Btw, I believe the spec of the wheels are 19x8.5 et32f 19x10 et38r and I'm mostly likely going to run nitto invos. Figure I'd put the most info down as possible as different tires affect it also. Thanks guys.

Based on the Vossen wheel specs for their 19" wheels. I would suggest going with.....

Front 235/35/19
Rear 265/30/19 or 255/35/19

This fitment should sit pretty nice with the RSR super down springs

Thx, I was thinking 225/35 up front and 255/30 in the back. Would that work? I'd like to do the recommended 235/35 and 265/30 but am afraid I'll rub with the lower drop. Not many people are running the super downs so it's hard to tell.

Spotxc - Since you mentioned that you don't like stretched tires (same here), you might want to investigate the Nitto Invo a bit more. Keep in mind that I haven't seen this setup in person so I might be completely wrong, but based on pictures that I've seen, the 265/30 Invo looks a little stretched to me on a 10" rim. In addition, the tire specs show that the section width (10.4") is a bit narrower than most other 265/30 tires (10.6 to 10.7). Here are some pics of that combo.

I want to run the same setup as you, but with Continental DW's. I've been searching to find pictures of this tire on a 10" rim, but I haven't found any yet. If anyone has pics, I'd love to see them. Actually, I'd like to run a 275/30 which is the proper tire size for a 10" rim but I don't know if it will fit.

If you don't like the stretched look, I think the Falken 453 tires hide the stretch pretty well, even on a 10.5 rim. Here are some pics of that combo.
