its going to depend on the offsets and camber, and if you want to mod the fenders. those are as important as stretch. if you run more camber, or shave your fenders, you can still have reasonably big tyres and clear. Also, obviously the size depends on the rim size. e.g. i have 235/35 on 9 which is a mild but visible stretch, and 245/35 on 10 which is much more of a stretch with rim exposed. It also depends on what brand of tyre you get as some run wider than others e.g. Nexen are narrow, and Federals are wide.

245/35 on 10", Nexen N3000 tyres, -2.1 camber, guards rolled 1/2 flat
235/35 on 9", Nexen N3000, -2 camber, guards rolled 3/4 flat

Theres also alot of threads for tyre size, not sure what keywords to search but....
i think the most common tyre size on here is 235/35/19 and 245/35/19 for aggressive 19inch wheels. But people have 275/30/19 on the rear like me but depends on offset cause mine are quite high compared to others here.

MJ,
Hold on for a bit.
I bought some Forgestar F05's from Derrick at D2Autosport a few weeks back. They should arrive any day now. Front wheels are 19x8.5 with a 38 offset and tires will be General Exclaim UHP 245/35. Rear wheels are 19x10 with a 40 offset and tires will be the UHP in 275/30.
Plans are to lower with Tanabe NF210's. I'm conservative. I'll post a pic once all is done and tell if I need to shave. I hope not but probably will have to.
