I would recommend the following setup:

19x9.5 (+22) 265-35-19
19x10.5 (+12) 295-35-19 or 305-35-19
This... Flush it out and keep some meat on the tires. Thin sidewalls don't look right. The wheels are large enough that if you go with a bit more sidewall, it would still look good.

I would rather go with correct tires than try to address "wheel gap" through tire size.

Wth are you guys even thinking? No tire size is going to fill a 5in fender gap unless you want a 60profile sidewall.

For someone who has been on this forum for over a year you have alot to learn about 1) how to talk to people on the forum and 2) how to mod a car

As it has been shown several times in this thread if you have the right wheel and tire offset and tire ratio you do not need to use suspension mods to reduce the wheel gap

I would be more than willing to bet he is running something which is stretched given his wheel sizes. By simply running a larger profile tire like a 265-35-19 front and a 305-35-19 he can more than makeup this difference.

How did you not get that from my post? Do I need to explain it even more?
