front finder hit 2'' drop

hi guys sory to ask this but i low my G for 2'' with 19''' wheel and i have problem with the front fender because my tires hit it some time when i drive. the front tire is 235/45/19 so i wonder what kind of tire i could get so that i have some spec from the fender?

235/45/19 is too tall. Reduce it to 235/35 or 225/35 if it's hitting inside, if it's hitting the outside / fender lip area you'll need some negative camber to move the top of the wheel inward.

Don't adjust your front tire sizes without measuring against your rear tire sizes. If your outer diameter changes too much from front to back you'll have VDC problems. Start with the camber and see where that gets you. Post a picture so the next person doesn't have to take random guesses at what might help and can actually see what your problem is.

45??? Your tire is way too tall. You'll have to do some measurements to see exactly what you need, depending on what your wheel offsets are you could prob just size down the tire and put some more camber in and roll your fenders and be fine - unless you are running something extremely aggressive, which I doubt...
