?aggressive? 19x10 wheel size, rear 255 or 275 and drop?

Hey I just picked up both a set of 255/35/19 and 275/35/19 tires from a local place that were oem on an M3 and Jag respectively. The 255's are contisport contacts and the 275's are Potenza re050a run flats. My question is, with my upcoming wheel purchase trying to do 9.5-10" in the rear with a high offset and also lowering with maybe the revised Z setup or hybrid Z/Coupe setup, which rear tire should I use? Thanks all who read/respond

Also- Wheels....fit? rub?

front: 19x8.5 +26

rear: 19x10 +43

I looked at the chart thingy but my measurements showed a little different than that. Any input?

275s fit on my sedan.

19x9.5 wheels with a +45mm offset. I also have had it aligned (spc camber/toe kit) to factory specs. aprox. a 1" drop too.

Search around and you will find a lot of threads on this.
Depending on your offset 275's will fit in the rear. You will have a hard time with the 255's in the front (if you were thinking about it) but they might fit if you roll your fenders.

I have 9.5" on the back - 275/35/19 with +48 offset. 1.1" drop with Kinetix camber kit. Everything fits with no rolling. You may have trouble if you try 255 in front.

Do you have a sedan? If so what offset are the wheels?

I have never seen a sedan fit a 10.5" rear.
