Default sc fitment guys need some help

Looking at trading my rims for some nice varrstoen es6

wheel specs
front 19/ 9.5 and a +12offset

rear 19/11 and a +15

now im no tire fitment god witch is why I am here, im looking to go fairly low so id assume a 35 side wall tire should do.. anyone running that set up and if so any pictures of how it sits.. or is19's just to much and should I order 18s ?

Going to depend on your suspension. I run 265/30/19 and 315/25/19 and im lowered on coilovers. Don't know the offset of my rims, CCW doesnt release that info.

that said, 35 series tire was too big for me up front. it fit (tire was installed by accident by shop) but it didnt look like it'd turn at all. 30 series was perfect. out back is the same deal. going with a taller sidewall would probably fit but it'd look funny.

Last consideration is decent tires for 19s that wide are not cheap. 18's will afford you some sidewall and probably cheaper tires too.

since you're trying to go "fairly low", forget about 19's and go straight to some 18's.

assuming you're on coilovers and not bagged... go with 18" wheels with 35-series tires instead of the typical 40-series which will enable u to go lower without worrying too much about the tread of your tires hitting the top of your fender wells/frame (typical for SC guys trying to slam or go real low on 19s)

I'm running 18x10" +12 all around with 245/45/18 Falkens. I would much rather put 235/35 but I have a hard time finding those used or in decent condition.
My car is pretty low considering the tire size. The front rubs even though I've modified my fender wells a bit and also relocated the wiring loom and rolled the fenders. The rear rubs on occassion but again it's due to the beefy tires.
