Try here.
Mine has 19-8.5 with 235x35 front and 19-9.5 with 245x35 rear. Tire is still stretch to this rims wide. Rob Daddy measures suits better but you have to consider the rims off-set too.

well i meant 19-8.5 in the front. and yes 19-9.5 in the rear. i just don't want to loose my milage because i drive that far. i mean i use this as a everyday driver. i do have a nother suv but i rather drive the car in the summer and the suv in the winter. thats why i'm asking what size would fit my driving. and you guys are responding with great advise. the car is lowered also. which don't mean a thing on this. but just let you guys know. I drive alot. specially once a month i'm drive up to ontario canada. so that why the gas milage is what i'm looking to save when i go to a bigger rims and tires
