Need some help picking the right wheel size.

I'm looking to purchase a set of 19" Dronell Type 5 wheels and was confused by all of the different size that are offered by the distributor. I want the widest size possible without ever having to worry about rubbing, even with an inch and half drop. Could someone please help me out...thanks, I appreciate it. -S.C.

...This is the site I found with a list of different sizes that are available.

Yeah, I believe the 19X8 comes in a higher offset too.

You'd be safer going with a 19x8 with an offset greater than 45.

I agree. I believe a member with 17 x 8 SSR with 48mm offset had some rubbing issues with Comptech springs; however, he also had 235/45/17. Another member had 225/45/17, and he had no rubbing. So to be on the safe side, you should go with at least a 48mm offset in a 8" width; especially if you're planning 235 tires.
