Settled on wheel size, now about the tires...

After flip flopping for months on what wheel I want to go with, I've narrowed it down to two options from Avant Garde, both come in a concave and deep concave staggered fitment that clears the Type S Brembos. The wheel sizes will be 19x8.5 +35 and 19x9.5 +45.

My question is what size tire would you guys that have been down this road before recommend for that size wheel and a mild drop on H&R sport springs?

Most sites that sell wheel and tire packages are recommended 235/35-19 on the 8.5" wide fronts and 275/30-19 on the 9.5" wide backs. I like the way that sounds, but I also don't want to roll my fenders if I don't need to. I'm thinking I should be fine just on the H&R sports, but I don't know.

I don't mind a bit of stretch on the tire, just nothing drastic, and I'm not sure any amount of stretch will look right on something that isn't lowered more than I'm planning.

Any advice on the tire sizes is appreciated.

My ES2s are 19x8.5 +20 effectively and 19x9.5 +30 effectively, and I'm running 235/35 and 245/35. the front isn't stretched, and the rear is just a small amount - definitely not an obvious stretched look.

I think 235/35 is definitely the right size up front, no rolling necessary. Out back, I'm inclined to think you should just get them rolled regardless. I would say stick with 245/35 or 265/30.
