WTB Tires and looking for a set in various sizes. 19"
 
I’m looking for a set of matching tires. I need something a bit wider.

Would prefer 305/30/19 - 265/35/19 or similar such as a 255/35/19 which might even be better with the front offsets

245/40/19 and 285-295/35/19 will do as well. I have over stretched tires that came on my rims when I bought them (9.5/10.5 width) and they are definitely too small for the car and came from a 300zx.

Current offsets are +12F and +2R (really a +22 but I am using a 20mm spacer)
-1.5deg camber F (1.3”drop approx.)
-2.5deg camber R (1” drop approx.)

Really even 245/40R19 is on the low end of what will stretch to fit on 19x9.5. And at the other extreme 305/30R19 is about as oversized as you can reasonably go on 10.5 as well. If I were you I'd not use either of those extremes, and bring the tires sizes in closer together (e.g. 265 + 285).

Thank you for the suggestions. I was just trying to fill the fenders in while staying within a 2 or 3% margin to keep the speedo reading correct. The 265/305 combo is popular even on stock rays (which are less wide) which is why I was going with that setup. I got some wheels from FUZZ Nissan and he had stretched 235/35/19 in the front and 265/30/19 in the rear and that is tiny. I lose an inch in diameter as well.
