assuming rolled rear fenders:
with that rim width and offset, a 275 for sure, and a 285 maybe, 295's would rub for sure...
I have 275/30-19 on 9.5" wheel, +35 offset, and your setup is 3mm farther out than what I have - mine are close, but clear, I know that 295's rub pretty bad, and I think 285's would work, but would have to try to be for sure...

The sad thing is that the $200 plus tax and shipping for those h&r spacers plus labor to instAll them could just be thrown to getting a better set of wheels that actually fit our car and the thin widths would be a shame considering the capabilities the sc has to fit some nice wide widths and the way spacers would effect handling overall it is just not worth it especially after a year or two the finish on this cheaply manufactured wheel will deteriorate and god forbid you drive over a pot hole these wheels are the equivalent of tsw's also known as the soft wheel for its incapability to withstand any hard guys without bending and a repair for that bend could have easily went to buying a quality set of wheels . All I'm saying is don't cop out, save for a real set of wheels. It will pay off in the not so long run.

I see them all the time, every day even... Thing is, it doesn't matter how expensive the wheel is, potholes and such don't care, and when it comes to comparing the strength of one wheel to another, you would be hard pressed to show true evidence that many of these aftermarket forged wheels are much stronger than a conservatively built cast aluminum wheel. Cast wheels are thicker, which is shown by the weight difference - but casting is not as strong as forging, forged wheels are thinner - it's a trade off. I have TSW's on my car, and when you say "nice wide widths" what do you mean? my 9.5" wide wheels are only about a half inch narrower than what I would consider perfect for the car... Any wider and you have to run stretched tires that actually hurt the performance of the tire/wheel assembly just to get them to fit properly. My TSW's are well over a year old, and I have zero imperfections - they are absolutely perfectly round. I also live in a city known for potholes, though not nearly as bad as up north obviously...
I do, however agree on the spacers thing - waste of money, get the right wheel to start...
what would your recommendations be for wheel and tire size given your statements above?
Personally, for me, 19x10, +42 et rear, and 18x9 +38 et front, 285/30-19 rear tire size, and 255/35-18 front tire size, in a perfect world, this would be the biggest, widest, safest, high performance fitment I would want (of course, you could always sub in a matching 19" front, but I like the difference in rim diamater personally)
