Default Tire suggestions for MRR wheels.

Needed some suggestions from you guys on what tires I should get. The MRR rims I'm planning on getting are 19x8.5 with a 35 offset. I want it to be close to the fender but without any rubbing or modification needed. Currently running on stock shocks and springs for now.

What do you recommend. These are the size options they have:

19x8.5 5x114.3 35

19x8.5 5x114.3 45

19x9.5 5x114.3 35

19x9.5 5x114.3 45

My fronts are 19x8.5 35 in the front and I run 225/35/19 tires up front. Rears are 19x9.5 35 on 255/35/19 tires. No rubbing at all on stock height. My car came that way when I bought it. I really want to run a wider and thicker tire up front but I'm concerned about it hitting the control arms.

Those wheels have sunken offsets as do most wheels which are recommended for our cars.. Meaning they won't be flush without a 15 mill spacer in the rear at the very least. They are still nice wheels tho that offer a clean look without the big $$$. Like the above poster 225 is perfect or try a 235/35 and for the rear 255! or 265 or fawk even a 275 for a fatty tire setup.. 245 for a mild stretch
