Default Stretch tires question....

I was wondering if some of you could help out with a question that I have...
So I purchased a set of Varrstoen ES7s that are 19 x 9.5 up front and then 19 x 11 in the rear.. I have tires from my previous setup 225/35 up front then 235/35 federals for rears. .. im thinking that the 235s might be too narrow for the 11 wide rears and was wondering what series I should go with for the rears to match the stretch up front with the 225/35.... thanks for in advance.

I have 225 on 8.75 and 235 on 9.75 which is pretty stretched in my opinion.
I would probably go with 235 up front and 245 in the rears, if that's possible for you depending on your drop/fender status

I have a 245 on a 10.5 rear. I would do a 255/ on the a 11 to match the front stretch.

For a 19x9.5 I would still go 225/35 and 19x11, 245/35. Stretch would still match and neither is too crazy of stretch on given sizes

Now it's more a matter of what brand of tire cause none stretch the same. Some run wider, some more narrow

Thanks for the responses... now with the 245s on the rears is that good for a daily driven car??
By the way, im lowered on coilovers and have rear adjustable camber arms, fenders rolled and im about to relocate the bumper tab so I can get lower. Offsets of the wheels are +22 all the way around

the stretch is gonna be very mild man, not too crazy at all lol. not like stretching a 225/35 on a 10 or something more extreme. i think 245/35 is perfect on a 11. since you already have all the other work done, youll be fine

the only thing is 245/35/19 is kind of an odd size so not many companies offer it, just a few. kind of like a 235/35/18, another odd size. so i still think even a 255/35 would be cool too. but 245 would be my first choice

Go 245/30/19 for the rear.
