it will all depend on how much effort you want to put in to make it fit and the look you are going for:

if it was me i would get 19x10+0 or low teen offsets. i would roll and pull the fenders, and run a 245 stretch. and maybe more negative camber(like -3 degrees or so) to make sure they tuck in nicely. its a low of work but looks amazing. also with a lot of camber your tires wont last as long. so if you dont care about tires then its ok.

if you just roll the fenders and use a 295 tire (which is unnecessary in my opinion) you need some +35ish offsets.

why such a wide tire? are you putting down some serious hp and have traction issues?

I have a 285 at a +35, and it is tight. On a 295, anything between +40 and +50 will be golden. A +50 can handle a 315 is you wanted some massively wide meat.

Of course, you would have to roll your fenders; and, there is no way in hell you could fit such a wide tire up front. The largest I have seen is a 275 up front.

a +25 offset will stick out at least 1 inch both front and back.

hooking up with that much power on 19's is going to be tough to very tough. I would go 19x11+50 and run some 315 DOT Drag Radials to give myself the best chance of staying in touch with the pavement.

oh,btw I'm staggering the wheels,but I want to put the widest wheel in the back with the wides tire so I can keep this thing fm spinning.
So I tough 19x8.5 in the fr and 19x10 or wider in the back.but the key is to get away from modifying the rr fenders

I have 295 10s all the way around...looks great. Aggressive. The front srtciks out about 1/16 of an inch, but is undetectible because of wide front Vertex-like bumper. No rolled fenders, 30 offset. However, there is slight rubbing under big bumps or loads.
