Default tires to use to stretch on 19x9.5 +12mm

I had Achilles atr sport on my fronts before and now i am running on lexins 235/35/19 and they are scrubbing like hell. Big mistake on my end. The main reason why I had switch to the 235 was because I was afraid of having bent rims due to the bumps on the highway. So i am looking what other brand tires that i can use to be stretch on my rims. What do you guys suggest? And i did do a search, but did not find the answer.

Running 245 35 19 Achilles on 19x9.5 +20. Rubs the fender liner but i trimmed it.

Achilles stretch pretty decent and run on the smaller side.

^ 245 on a 9.5 rim is not stretched IMO.

im running 225/40 on a 18x10. No issues at all.

225/35/19 something that runs on the small side, since alot of guys stretch a 225/35 on 10s

Achilles actually run small. I had a 225/35 on a 9. It stretched a good bit more than the 235/35 nankang i have on a 9.5 now. You will need to run a 225 or 215 on something so aggressive.

Personally i run 225 35 on a 8.5 and 235 on a 9.5 but it jus depends on how low you are and if youre rolled or shaved. Tires brands are different even if same size. My .02
