Im running 19 x 10.5 +13 fr/19 x 11.5 +19 in the rears. But I don't rub, stretched tires:225/35/19 fronts and 245/35/19 rears. Car is dumped static, fenders are rolled and my wheels are flush to the fender with about 1 1/2" from lip to fender. Anything less than that will clear just fine

Another 19 in wheel/tire option to consider:

Front:
Wheel: 19 X 8.5 +38 Tire: 245-35 - 19

Rear:
Wheel: 19 X 9.5 or 10 +38 Tire: 275-30 - 19

When running this combo with Michelin Pilot Super sports or Continental DWS (obviously NON run flats), they will fit flush to the wheel wells (within 1/2 inch) without modifications, and no rubbing, even over heavy bumps. As far as I know, you can even do a mild drop (around 1.5-2 inches) without problems with this combo.
Good luck....

How did you roll your fenders? Everywhere I ask to get my fenders rolled they tell me they only "shave" it because rolling them can cause "dimples."

This is what I have although I disagree about the "flush" part. Could use 5-10mm spacers still but looks good regardless.

Man that is sick. Do you have any issues running stretched? Less miles on the tires? Also, how many inch dropped is your ride?

Thanks! I haven't changed the tires Ive only owned my car for a month now and barely slammed it and threw these wheels on, but its forsure going to wear more on one side than another due to natural camber that happens after the extreme drop from OEM (megan LPs), and I wouldn't know I didn't really measure it, that's the height I got after bolting on the coils straight out of the box, still haven't been able to tweak around the ride height, I will be dropping another 1/4"-1/2" in the rear when I stop being lazy and stop working on my interior.

I have been running on Forgestar 19" F14 8.5"+32F, 10"+36R. Michellin AS Pilot Sport. F 245/35 R 275/30. No fender mods, no rubbing. Wheels could use another 5mm of offset to be flush. Running with about 1" drop on Megan coilovers. See pictures in my garage.
