Here are 235/35’s stretched on a 19x10:

I’d go with 225s on the 10s, 215s on the 8s if it’s going to be SLAMMED.

If not SLAMMED, then 245s out back, 225s up front

I would do 215/45 in the front on the 8s and then like a 235/40 on the rear.

it also depends on which brand you buy and what kind. Federal tires are huge. a 235 on a 10 matches a 255 on 10 in most other brands. Falken ziex stretch nice so a 235 on a 10 would be a good stretch and a decent proflie side wall if you chose a 235/40

Isn’t a 45 series too tall for a 19?

255/265 would be just about flush with the rim. you could totally put 275s on them and look like a badass though.

285’s are sweet! its just me I like fat tire over stretched. Even if that shits low, tucking tire/wheel… get the offsets right and roll the fenders to get them inside.

but thats just me.

there’s so much variation in tire widths between manufacturers and even models within manufacturers that it’s tough to guess.
