Help with tire sizing to match 19" wheels
Hi! Looking for some help to confirm tire sizes. Car is lowered on RSR Down springs and wheels are sized:
19x9 et +47 / 19x10 et +30.
Would tire sizes of 235/35/19 fronts and 255/30/19 rears work without rubbing?
Thanks!

That is some odd offset rims you have. Honestly I don't think it matters what size tire you put on, it's gonna rub somewhere.
Also, 235/35/19 has a bigger circumference than a 255/30/19.
Any chance you have the offset backwards...like the +30 is the front rim and the +47 is the rear rim? They would probably fit then without rubbing.

I would say a test fit of the rims would be your best bet. The front would be inside the wheel well pretty far, so rubbing on full lock turns, clearing the brakes, or hitting the suspension would be the main concern.
For the rear they would be out pretty far, to rubbing on the fender would be the issue there.
You could use spacers on the front which would resolve the issue if they were in too far.
