Default Concave+semi stretched tires input please

Anyone running concave wheels with stretched/semi stretched tires? Looking for tires for my wheel and want to be sure to buy the right tires. FYI its not for looks but for fender clearance since i dony want to modify my fender. Any help is appreciated.
Wheel size is 19x8.5 +35 and 19x9.5 +40. Car is is250 rwd. Thinking about 225/35 and 265/30.
Thanks in advance

Since it is only for looks, they are both not going to have a stretched appearance. I have a 225 on my 8.5 front wheels and it barely looks stretched at all, it looks pretty normal. Your going to need at least a 245 on the rear to start looking stretched. I would probably go with a 235 on the rear.

Why stretched if they are going to sit inside the wheel well? Its just gonna look a bit weird with those high offsets.

Stretching is not really necessary with those offsets.

Your front tire choice works tho, but I wouldn't run a 30 series in the rear, you can go 35 series. 245 or 255

Agreed, but OP said it was just for looks.
OP, what look do you want? Throw up some pics. You might be looking for a look that shows a car with low offset wheels that is running stretched tires.

This is my setup and Im running a 245/35/19 stretched over a 10.5 +22 rear wheel

Read it careful bros. he stated "it's not for look but for fender clearance". That the reason why he's asking about right stretching tire to avoid fender modify.
19 x 8.5 in the front I would go with 215/225-35-19
19 x 9.5 in the rear with 265-30-19 will be fine

Someone please correct me is I was wrong. Those info is base on my car ........

You can do 215 on a 8.5 and 235 on a 9.5 if you want to maximize your stretch.

Lol, wow, where did I come up with that? Yeah, no need to do fender mods with your offsets on some 215 or 225 fronts and 235 or 245 rears. But then again, my first post was still right on cue.

your wheel specs won't need fender modifications, so why even think about stretched/semi-stretched tire sizes? people run stretched/semi-stretched tire sizes because of low-offset wheels, and you, sir, do not have low-offset wheels.

to put to rest your tire fitment needs, read the below and act accordingly. thank me later.

you can do a healthy 235/35-19 + 265/30-19 with a zero-finger gap.

any lower, and you'll have to go w/ 225/35-19 + 255/35-19.

btw, these are safely within limits and are not considered tire-stretching sizes by any stretch (pun not intended) of imagination.
